Build error "clang.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running"

I must’ve installed Git for Windows without selecting LFS. I uninstalled it then installed it again and made sure the LFS option was enabled. The git clone looks good now. Thanks guys!

I also had an issue with an old version of git LFS installed. Some errors appeared in git log when attempting to fetch. So I removed all traces of git and git lfs from my system and just installed the last version of git.

If I remember correctly, the installer doesn’t install git LFS by default, so be sure to check the corresponding option.
