Trouble Building TBB in windows with CMake

[Aiyer__Kartik]

Hi, 

I'm trying to use TBB by building from source in my project. I'm doing this on a Windows 10 system and am using the MSVC toolchain that comes with Visual Studio 2019 Community edition. I"m using the standard approach of `git submodule add` and pointing it to TBB github source to get the code. I then followed the following steps in my main CMakeLists.txt.  

# TBB
include(tbb/cmake/TBBBuild.cmake)
tbb_build(TBB_ROOT ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/tbb/ CONFIG_DIR TBB_DIR MAKE_ARGS tbb_cpf=1)

When I run the cmake configuration step I get the following error.

"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\CLion 2019.2\bin\cmake\win\bin\cmake.exe" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G "CodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles" C:\Users\kartik\Projects\cv\hello_cv

Is the gmake referred to here GNU Make ? If so why is there a dependency on GNU Make when I'm using the MSVC toolchain? In this case I'm using my IDE (CLion which generates NMake files for windows by default) however I can reproduce the problem running cmake in a power shell terminal.

PS C:\Users\kartik\Projects\cv\hello_cv\build-out> cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ..

Is there a way I can work around this ? I have a MinGW toolchain which should have the GCC tools, however, when I use that toolchain I get the same error as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

is gnu make tool called gmake in your mingw package? it looks you need gmake available in %PATH% when you run cmake.
