Description
I am VERY new to compiling software, and I'm sure all the subtleties that go along with it.
I'm trying to build OpenColourIO on Windows 10. I found the instructions on what we needed to install for a full build, and followed them as best I could. I think the required applications have been installed correctly.
I used the instructions here.

Although I would note that I downloaded VS 2022 Community edition, since I do not need either of the paid versions. This caused a glitch where ocio.bat insisted VS wasn't installed, even though I had supplied the path to the relevant directory using the flag --msvs.
I had to go into the batch script and change the VS path in there. So it seems the --msvs flag isn't working.
Anyway, I got through these initial difficulties, and the batch file started to run. Then it bailed with an error:
C:/TEMP/OCIO/build/Release is not a directory
C:/TEMP is of course my temp path.
And its right, those directories don't exist. Surely the batch file should create them?
