CMake Tricks

You may have explicitly specify the build system generator, e.g.

-G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

Or just choose the command set since VS 2019:

-A"Win32" 

or adjust the cmake search path to find the dependencies, e.g.

-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Boost" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Qt\5.12.2\msvc2017_64"
