I'm new for Torque3D, just git clone the source, want to compile it using CMake and MSVC.
CMake - 3.17.4

Configuration process generates following with error in the end.
CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log are also attached.

Don't know how to fix this.

There have been issues with some older and some newer cmake versions, why this happens I'm not entirely sure but newer versions are rare.

also I belive the master branch itself is in conflict with cmake, also in case you are using the new archived repo

https://github.com/TorqueGameEngines/Torque3D

you should probably be using the Preview4.0 branch which is default, or the development branch, master branch is dated and needs some of the development branch fixes pushing to it.
