Thanks for the response.

Environment:
     CMake 3.6.2
     Visual Studio 2015 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
     Windows 10 Home Version 1511 (64-bit)

1.  I get a couple hundred warnings on exception processing, with the 
suggestion to set the /EHsc option, but I can't figure out in Visual 
Studio where to set that.  I've explored the ALL_BUILD options and can't 
find any place for that, nor can I find it in any of the individual 
projects I examined.

2.  The first of a long list of actual errors is in lookup3.c, where is 
found this sequence at line 57:

#ifndef WIN32
#include <sys/param.h>
#endif

where it can't find sys/param.h.  My guess is that since this is a 
64-bit machine, WIN32 may not be defined, but since it's a Windows 
machine, param.h may not exist.

Any help would be appreciated.
