Our binaries are built with 2013 right now and we plan to move to 2015 after the current release cycle. If you want what you are building to be compatible with the Kitware binaries, you will need to use 2013. Also, I believe there are compiler errors if you use 2017 right now.<br><br></div>To build with Ninja and VS compilers, you need to be in a visual studio command prompt rather than a normal shell (it sets a bunch of environment vars, which I think is what is missing in your last example). To convert a normal command prompt you run (example is for VS2015, your path may differ) 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/vcvarsall.bat x64' in your shell and it will set the environment variables for you.
