I have been trying to build v8 on my windows8 machine from past two days and have been facing many issues. Now, I am stuck at a point where its throwing me this error:

I have tried it by installing visual studio 2013 and with that I am getting same error but this time saying 2013 is not supported, supported are 2015 and 2017
Can any one in this group help me out with the build. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
