Hello,
I have been trying to build my gui with cmake for some time now but i always end up with a linking error. I have been trying some different things but i can’t get it to create the missing .lib file

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
I tried to run the example from Linking ROOT libs with cmake in Windows - Newbie - ROOT Forum which worked so i assume that my root build is fine.
