ITK Installation error: "ptrdiff_t"

Beginner Questions

I am a beginner and I am following the ITK Software guide: https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/releases/download/v5.2.1/InsightSoftwareGuide-Book1-5.2.1.pdf

Unfortunately, after setting up CMake and generating the configuration, and typing make, I get the following error:

Consolidate compiler generated dependencies of target ITKCommon

Could anyone help me out for this?

It looks like the C compiler version was the culprit, by choosing the correct compiler and re-configuring with CMake made it further!
