more of a cmake issue but im new to c++ stuff and cmake and having trouble compiling this repo https://github.com/johnBuffer/VerletSFML-Multithread on windows with just the cmd in vscode (technically vscodium but doesnt matter much), running the command it tells me to use in the readme cmake --build . --config Release gives me the error in the block below and ive also had some trouble getting it to find the sfml files, i put them in /release next to/same level as /src but idk if thats right.

yes i could make an issue in the guys repo and ask directly but i want to understand why its not working and creating issue doesnt seem the correct way to do that imo

D:\projects\cpp\VerletSFML-Multithread>cmake --build . --config Release     
MSBuild version 17.10.4+10fbfbf2e for .NET Framework
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.
Switch: ALL_BUILD.vcxproj

ended up getting chatgpt to update the cmake file this project had, mostly just added a set() to manually set the sfml lib dir (it also used glob to get all the cpp and hpp files)

#

and yeah thats literally what cmake told me to write but i didnt want to till now i guess
