Hi, 

I'm trying to build KiCAD for windows-x64.
I raised a vcpkg bug with cairo - a 2D graphics library- -

Has anyone seen this? 
Is there a workaround?

Thanks and Regards.
Mikey ( VJ )

We successfully compiled KICad 9.0.1 through Github Runner 5 days ago, you can refer to it

Yea I did a full rebuild the other day under the latest MSVC, that
stuff is all fine.

>LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open sanitycheckc.exe for writing

tl;dr. Disable anti-virus software, that malware usually fucks with
developer tooling. Alternatively you need to start inspecting folder
permissions and usage.
