Documentation clarification: does Filament also support MSVC build tools? #9894

Description

@qiyuewuyi2333

In the build documentation, the listed requirements are:

  • CMake 3.22.1 or newer
  • clang 16.0 or newer
  • ninja 1.10 or newer

Reference: https://google.github.io/filament/dup/building.html

However, in my case, the project also builds successfully with MSVC build tools.

And the description below also mention that you can build with visual-studio.

So I am wondering whether:

  1. clang is not actually a strict requirement on Windows, or
  2. the documentation should be updated to mention MSVC as a supported option.

It might be helpful to clarify this in the documentation to avoid confusion for users.
