Error downloading OpenSSL static lib for Windows CI builds (Ninja) about realm-cpp

[adamski]

Found the issue. For some reason the 'x64' part of the URL is being removed in GitLab CI.

Correct URL:
https://static.realm.io/downloads/dependencies/openssl/3.0.8/openssl-3.0.8-x64-windows-static.tar.gz

URL in GitLab CI:
https://static.realm.io/downloads/dependencies/openssl/3.0.8/openssl-3.0.8--windows-static.tar.gz

I suspected CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID was not being set on the CI server, but I checked and it is set to "x64"

[adamski]

So I changed then following:

diff --git forkSrcPrefix/tools/cmake/AcquireRealmDependency.cmake forkDstPrefix/tools/cmake/AcquireRealmDependency.cmake
index 0c395b61cb6444100f2f579d8d1ffac81402ac01..4e9d00d3e74eac3001b17352a30f22e66c0115d9 100644

     else()

Which got the download working, but I now get this error:

The odd thing is that building in CLion on the same machine works fine.

It seems to be when running in Powershell that the problem arises.

OK - seems to be some issue with the CMake script when using the Ninja generator within PowerShell.

Switching to the Visual Studio generator, with the architecture specified works.
