MinGW sh.exe must NOT be in your path

Question

Currently trying to setup my C development environment on windows with MinGW and it looks like CMAKE is giving me the following error:

sh.exe was found in your P         


        

Answer 1

It's the problem of your git's path.
I assume you are using the Clion, just check if you have added %gitpath%\binto your path, that's where the problem is. You should use %gitpath%\cmdinstead, typically for me it's D:\Git\cmd.Since the former one includes sh.exe in your path which results in the error.
