Hello @bghgary I have been trying to build for my windows using cmake -A x64…but I get the following error C:/Users/adene/Downloads/BabylonNative/Build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. ---

Try `cmake -A x64 ..\` Since we ask for a build subfolder, we need to tell cmake that the parent folder is where our project files are. ---

I can’t reproduce these issues, but let’s make sure we have all the build dependencies installed. I’m assuming this is windows 10: > **[BabylonJS/BabylonNative](https://github.com/BabylonJS/BabylonNative#all-development-platforms-common-first-steps)** > > Build cross-platform native applications with the power of the Babylon.js JavaScript framework - BabylonJS/BabylonNative Is cmake for windows installed?

@waverider404 I’m 90% sure it’s because of path length with Windows/Android Studio. Can you try to clone the repo in a short length named directory (like c:\BN instead of C:/Users/adene/Downloads/BabylonNative-master/BabylonNative-master/BabylonNative). I had the same issue some time ago and enabling long path support in Windows didn’t help. I guess some path length is limited to MAX\_PATH somewhere… ---

it seems babylonjs gui does not work in the native engine and also how can I disable anti-aliasing for optimisation purpose? ---

GUI doesn’t work yet but it will in the coming weeks. There is no easy way to disable AA. The flag in only set on the c++ side with no way to change it without a rebuild.
