Error while build triangle from source: c1: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'c/triangle.c': No such file or directory

I am getting this error while trying to build triangle (The source file can be accessed from here: https://github.com/drufat/triangle) from source:

` c1: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'c/triangle.c': No such file or directory error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.37.32822\bin\HostX86\x64\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2

` I am using Windows 11, anaconda 3, python 3.9.17 I tried installing different versions of microsoft build tools but I get the same error every time. I even tried on a different machine with different version of anaconda and python, but still im getting the same error. Can somebody help me in fixing this issue?

If you look at GitHub, you'll see there is a c directory but it looks like this:

c @ 8b9e104

This means it is a submodule. You need to do extra steps to pull it down. If you clone the repo, you need to go into it and then execute the following two commands

git submodule init
git submodule update

See the following (done on a Mac but the idea is the same)

jeremyp@mymachine dev % git clone https://github.com/drufat/triangle.git
