Can't Build Dolphin for the Life of Me - ThaBullfrog - 12-02-2014

I am simply opening the solution file (dolphin 4.0 downloaded as zip off GitHub), cleaning the solution, and then building the solution and I get this mess:


There's just one small thing that irks me. I found the file and what I need to change, but now I can't build it.

Thanks for reading.
Help is appreciated.

What part of this did I not do?

EDIT: I got it from GitHub, opened Source/Dolphin_2010.sln
Then I built the solution.

I don't know, you tell us?
It's all really straight-forward and it doesn't get any easier than simply following what is stated on that page shuffle linked.

It's very likely you're lacking (some) prerequisites. Follow the guide step by step and if you get any issues/errors beyond that then feel free to post here.

1st line of your error message:
Error 1 error MSB3073: The command "cscript /nologo /E:JScript "make_scmrev.h.js"

I think this is a very common problem, i have seen somebody on irc with the same issue. There's no logical reason that this requires to have git installed(command line version!), just in order to compile the source. At least not for somebody new to git.

Thanks, installing the command line version fixed those errors, but the other errors still exist. I checked all the prerequisites and made sure I had them installed.
Here are the errors that still exist:

I installed the windows SDK and the DirectX SDK, but I am still getting this error:
Error 2 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'basetsd.h': No such file or directory c:\users\jeremiah\dolphin source\dolphin\externals\polarssl\include\polarssl\xtea.h 35

I don't get it basetsd.h is part of the windows SDK and I have it installed.
