error: could not find git for clone of stb-populate

I compiled the code with CMake, but the following error occurred. Environment is Win10, VS2019, who knows what is the reason? How to solve it?

The problem is no the pthread.h but the missing git command line utility. If you don't want to install git, you might be able to build the library only (not the test or example or wrapper binaries) if you disable the respective BUILD_-options (e.g. with cmake-gui). But this is untested. I suggest you install git, though.
