Hi Kanstantin, Thanks for the feedback. The location of git that I have always used is "C:\Program Files [(x86)]\bin\git.exe". Looking at the git installation, there is another executable "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe", but I have never pointed CMake at that one. What is the difference between the two? I can change the patch to use the other one, but I'd like to understand why it is necessary.
