I'm trying to build ethminer on a windows box and am Visual Studio 2015 fails. The steps that I take are the following:
Download ethminer/cpp-ethereum and install dependencies using the command line prompt with Administrator privileges:
git clone https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum.git
cd extdep
getstuff.bat
So far, so good, now I create (I've struggledstruggled a bit with CMake) the Visual Studio 2015 project solution files using CMake:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -DBUNDLE=cudaminer -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..
Everything seems okay (the solution files are generated) but when I try to build from VS I get a large number of errors:

Also, I can't seem to find the compiler configuration details (it seems like the CXX compiler is not being used).
