I am trying to build a C++ extension for 3D Slicer. I have tested SlicerIGT and SlicerFreeSurfer. I have followed the instruction here: Documentation/Nightly/Developers/FAQ/Extensions - Slicer Wiki
On both SlicerIGT and SlicerFreeSurfer, I got the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER is not a full path to an existing compiler tool when configure an extension error. Could you please help me, thanks!
This is configure command I used:
"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE" --no-warn-unused-cli -DSlicer_DIR:PATH=C:/D/S4R/Slicer-build -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=TRUE -Hc:/Users/ming/projects/SlicerFreeSurfer -Bc:/Users/ming/projects/SlicerFreeSurfer/build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
This is the CMake error log:
