cmake error with a software bam-window software

I am trying to install the tool bam-window but I am getting cmake error. I downloaded the bam-window-master.zip in linux. The link of the tool is hosted in git https://github.com/genome-vendor/bam-window. I downloaded and follow the below commands.

unzip bam-window-master.zip
cd bam-window-master
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

On doing cmake .. After compiling I for a while I get an error

  Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

  !
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:9 (get_git_version_info)

How do I get rid of this and make the installation proper?

The CMakeLists.txt for this project assumes (unfortunately) that the source code is not downloaded as a zip file, but instead cloned from github.

So instead of using "Dowload ZIP" link, just clone it using regular GIT commands:

git clone https://github.com/genome-vendor/bam-window.git
