Problem description & steps to reproduce

Trying to compile the llama from source.
First of all, cmake_minimum_required() is a must for windows, so I have added that.

Finally, when building via:
cmake --build build --config Release -t llama-server

Error is following:

CUSTOMBUILD : CMake error : Not a file: D:/AI/llama.cpp/tools/server/scripts/xxd.cmake [D:\AI\llama.cpp\tools\server\bu
ild\llama-server.vcxproj]
CUSTOMBUILD : CMake error : Error processing file: D:/AI/llama.cpp/tools/server/scripts/xxd.cmake [D:\AI\llama.cpp\tool
s\server\build\llama-server.vcxproj]

I double checked, and indeed there is no such folder called scripts

First Bad Commit

No response

Compile command

cmake --build build --config Release -t llama-server

Relevant log output

cmake --build build --config Release -t llama-server

Related to #15674 maybe? MSVC is not longer supported and you need to use LLVM instead.

Check your python version is 3.10, that will happen when a dependency is not met. Also you must use developer console or it will never work.
