I’ve spent 10 hours with no success, I’m trying to build a c++ project with opencv using cmake but I keep getting this error log below. There seems to be an issue with the CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake file but i don’t know what is the issue. Any help would be amazing as I’m pretty stuck right now.
Thanks in advance to whoever reads this.

This is how I set up the cmake, in the root of OpenCV 4.9.0. repository:

i just got started with c++ and have been trying to use OpenCV for an GUI.
I installed Cmake, Ninja and OpenCV into my C:/ directory. I now planned to Build the Project but i get an error in the Linking stage of Compilation.
Here is the log:

I’m currently trying to setup OpenCV in my c++ project but I cannot get my main.cpp file to recognize the OpenCV directory. This is my file structure:
