Problem compiling under Windows

I'm trying to build Wireshark under Windows in order to develop a dissector for a protocol.

During the CMake stage, I get the following messages:

``` CMake Error in epan/CMakeLists.txt: Target "epan" INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property contains path:

I'm running the CMake command in c:\users\andy\source\repos\wireshark-build, and the wireshark source is in C:\Users\andy\source\repos\wireshark

Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
