I m getting a build error while trying to build Firebase C++ SDK on Windows 10

Below is the error message while building using CMake :

CMake Error at desktop_build/external/src/firestore/cmake/firebase_utils.cmake:87 (message): firebase_execute_process(): command failed with non-zero exit code 1: C:/Program Files/CMake/bin/cmake.exe --build . -- (working directory: E:/Program Files/Firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk-11.4.0/desktop_build/external/src/firestore-build/external) Call Stack (most recent call first): desktop_build/external/src/firestore/cmake/external_rules.cmake:61 (firebase_execute_process) desktop_build/external/src/firestore/CMakeLists.txt:118 (download_external_sources)

Commands used for the building : mkdir desktop_build && cd desktop_build cmake -G “Visual Studio 16 2019” ..

I have both 2019 and 2022 versions of VS Community installed

Tried with Firebase C++ SDK Version - 11.3.0 as well and getting the same error

Not able to recognise the root cause of the error.

I found that the build scripts require the patch and sed utilities, which on Windows you can install e.g. via Chocolatey:

choco install patch sed
