How to build the esp32 azure iot kit example?

[didiercoyman]

Hi, I am new to IDF and struggle to build the azure iot kit example on Windows 10.
I have installed the IDF 4.0.1 as per the documentation and were able to build the "hello world" example.
I have tried to follow the instruction in https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-so ... ample-make but without success, I get a compilation error as followed (I have attached the CMakeOutput log as well). Any advise?
