• Other Firebase Components in use: _____ (Auth, Database, etc.)
• Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: _____ (Mac, Windows, or Linux)

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

when following the instructions to build the SDK on windows, getting the following error

Building Custom Rule C:/work/google/firebase-cpp-sdk/external/src/firestore/cmake/external/CMakeLists.txt No update step for 'zlib' No patch step for 'zlib' No configure step for 'zlib' No build step for 'zlib' No install step for 'zlib' No test step for 'zlib' Completed 'zlib' CMake Error at 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: C:/work/google/firebase-cpp-sdk/external/src/firestore-build/external) Call Stack (most recent call first): external/src/firestore/cmake/external_rules.cmake:61 (firebase_execute_process) external/src/firestore/CMakeLists.txt:118 (download_external_sources)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Steps to reproduce:

Have you been able to reproduce this issue with just the Firebase C++ quickstarts ? What's the issue repro rate? (eg 100%, 1/5 etc)

What happened? How can we make the problem occur? This could be a description, log/console output, etc.

Follow steps in the Build instructions on windows 11 with visual studio 2022

If you have a downloadable sample project that reproduces the bug you're reporting, you will likely receive a faster response on your issue.

Relevant Code:

git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk.git
mkdir desktop_build && cd desktop_build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --target firebase_analytics

the error ocurrs.
