Building the plugin template...

Hello, I'm trying to get the plugin template to build (on Win 10). Unfortunately, I'm a VS pleb with very little cmake experience.

First, I've tried using .\.github\scripts\Build-Windows.ps1 but I get

CMake Error: Could not read presets from C:/dev/obs-plugin-test/obs-plugintemplate: Unrecognized "version" field Exception: C:\...\obs-plugintemplate\.github\scripts\Build-Windows.ps1:105:1 Line | 105 | Build | ~~~~~ | cmake --preset windows-x64 exited with non-zero code 1.

Then, I've tried to use cmake .. (from a build folder), and I get stuff like this:

-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.36.32538.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.36.32538.0 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: nmake -f Makefile /nologo cmTC_e5c9f\fast && -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.36.32532/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: nmake -f Makefile /nologo cmTC_e32a4\fast && -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.36.32532/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe - broken CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.20/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:66 (message): The C compiler "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.36.32532/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

Would much appreciate it if somebody could push me in the right direction.

What was the problem/solution? If you felt the need to post it, then someone else will probably have the same problem and find this thread.

I'm having the exact same error, and just like you I got close to zero CMake experience, the solution you found for your problem is very much apreciated.
