cmake build

[hros]

Trying to build MsQuic with cmake according to the instructions fails on Linux.
Running the provided command cmake -g 'Linux Makefiles' .., returns the error: CMake Error: Unknown argument -g
If I change g to G, I get the following error message from cmake:

CMake Error: Could not create named generator Linux Makefiles

                                 (experimental, work-in-progress).

and if I change the command to cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' .., I get the following error:

please help with the proper way to build MsQuic on Linux using cmake

Did you initialize submodules? (Command at the top of build.md)

[hros]

yes. I ran git submodule update --init --recursive

[nibanks]

Is there a CMakeList.txt in /tmp/msq/msquic/submodules/googletest?

[mxi1]

after submodules are updated, no need to add the -g flag, did you try this:
cmake -S <msquic_root_path> -B <your_build_path> ?
For example, I am using the builds/x64 as the build path for my linux setup, so I will run
cmake -S . -B builds/x64, and it works for me.
