I am trying to build llvm from source following their instructions under the using visual studio section. When I run the command cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -Thost=x64 ..\llvm, everything appears fine, until i see the following:

-- Could NOT find ZLIB (missing: ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find LibXml2 (missing: LIBXML2_LIBRARY LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find Backtrace (missing: Backtrace_LIBRARY Backtrace_INCLUDE_DIR)

  Invalid character escape '\U'.

I think I can deal with the first three lines, but what do I do about the fact that it is improperly escaped?
