I'm trying to build a server for the Plasma client. I am not a developer (just a fan of Myst), so I really don't know what to do.
I'm following the instructions shown here: https://github.com/H-uru/Plasma
I got to the sixth step of the instructions, but then I get errors. It also says, when I click x86-release: "The CMake.txt file is not available in the build directory. Only the variables defined for this configuration are displayed."
I'm at a loss. I feel like I've tried everything. And, very clearly, this is the solution I've been looking for. If anyone could help me with this I would be so grateful.

Re: Help Needed with Building Plasma Client/ Server...
OK, I think I understand what's happening here... Step 3 might be a little misleading. It says, "choose the folder where you cloned the repository" -- what it neglects to mention is that git will clone the repository into a folder called Plasma. So if you run the git clone command in in C:\dev, you would need to choose the folder C:\dev\Plasma.

Thanks so much for getting back to me!
Yes; I'm selecting the Plasma folder. But I don't know where to go from the step I'm stuck on.

Could you share the OneDrive link to your screenshot? What you pasted is where it is on your computer, which I don't have access to

Could you expand the content of the "Error" at the bottom? vcpkg.cmake waits until the very end to exit with errors, so I'm not sure what it's complaining about

Re: Help Needed with Building Plasma Client/ Server...
Like I said, I'm not a developer. This is my first time using this platform, so it's pretty much just trial and error.... If I mention a problem that has an obvious solution, that's why.
