I'm an absolute beginner at python, but have been asked to download the
dlib library on my windows system. I have followed the instructions given
here: http://dlib.net/compile.html

I have already downloaded cmake and Visual Studio. On the Visual Studio
command prompt, on running "python setup.py install" I get this:

running install
running bdist_egg
running build
Detected Python architecture: 64bit
Removing build directory
C:\Python\PackagesForPython\dlib-18.18\./tools/python/build
Configuring cmake ...
CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
error: cmake configuration failed!

Could anyone help me out please? I've tried whatever I can think of.

Thank you! Cheers!
