The instructions at https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver do not allow building the driver or the examples on a Windows system. Following the instructions takes you to a point where you create a "build" subdirectory, run cmake --G Ninja .. , then run cmake --build .
Unfortunately, there are a significant number of assumptions built into the instructions that make the first of these two statements fail:
1) CMAKE_C_COMPILER needs to be set manually - the instructions fail to do this
2) CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER needs to be set manually - the instructions fail to do this
3) CMakeLists.txt needs to be edited to include a line setting ASIO_INCLUDE_DIR to the "include" directory under the vcpkg asio subdirectory installed in a previous step
4) Despite assertions by the build system that something similar needs to be done for spdlog ("CMake Error at test/CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "spdlog" with any
of the following names:
spdlogConfig.cmake
spdlog-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "spdlog" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"spdlog_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "spdlog"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed."
this assertion is FALSE - adding a line to CMakelists.txt to set either spdlog_DIR or CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to include the spdlog directory fail with the same error
It would be extremely helpful if the instructions could actually be followed to allow this package to be built.
