Installing libpiper on Windows

[pvrose]

I am currently developing an app involving TTS and want it to run on both Linux and Windows. I have so far been successful on Linux, and am now porting to Windows. I have tried to follow the instructions under MSVC, Powershell and Developer powershell, and alwyas hit the same problem:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.30/Modules/ExternalProject/shared_internal_commands.cmake:951 (message):
error: could not find git for clone of espeak_ng_external
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.30/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:3035 (_ep_add_download_command)
CMakeLists.txt:23 (ExternalProject_Add)

I am using the same clone of piper-gpl on both OSs.

I even tried to use WSL but the cmake version under WSL is not recent enough.

Thanks in anticipation.
Phil.

My bad.

I had mis-understood the error message. I thought it couldn't find the git data for espeak_ng. Instead I realised just after positing that it couldn't find the git command itself. I installed git (separately from MSVC) and it now gets further and runs cmake -B build..... and fails on the build compiling piper.cpp.
