Above is your clue. Your build could not run `configure`. Your problem is most likely in ``` ExternalProject_Add(project_libsndfile GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile.git PREFIX lib/libsndfile CONFIGURE_COMMAND <SOURCE_DIR>/configure BUILD_COMMAND make BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1 INSTALL_COMMAND echo Skipping install step for libsndfile ) ``` Running a `configure` script is not going to work on Windows out of the box because libsnd uses GNU autotools which is for made for UNIX like operating systems. You should try and figure out how (if it's even possible) to build libsnd on Windows. At glance at the GitHub page shows they have a CMake build system but the docs say it will likely only work on Linux. There are some commits that mention MINGW so maybe it might be possible to build using the MSYS environment.
