I need help compiling static linked msix.dll on Windows

[trillykins]

I have installed the dependencies and prerequisites that are prescribed in the README., but I am unable to execute makewin.cmd x86 -mt on Windows (10, if that's important). Basically, I just need to make a very simple change in the MSIX Core (already done), however I can't figure out what I've done wrong or what I'm missing when compiling the dll. I can see it's a linker issue, that it cannot find what looks like the standard library, but it should be installed.

I can get everything else around it to build. makwin.cmd x86 builds just fine, I can build the entire MSIX Core solution, but I can't figure out what is causing the issue with the linker when compiling the statically linked dll.
