Compiling Aseprite from source code. Problem with compiling skia library

Im trying to compile Aseprite from github's source code. When I type in console:

 gn gen out/Release --args="is_official_build=true skia_use_system_expat=false skia_use_system_libjpeg_turbo=false skia_use_system_libpng=false skia_use_system_libwebp=false skia_use_system_zlib=false target_cpu=""x64"" cc=""clang"" cxx=""clang++"" clang_win=""c:\deps\llvm"" win_vc=""G:\Visual Studio\VC"```

I get an error:

ERROR Need exactly one build directory to generate
