Linker error using build_win.cmd (Windows 10, Visual Studio 2013)

[Marianne]

As stated in the recently updated README, I want to report an error when building caffe-windows using build_win.cmd.
I changed the Visual Studio version to 12, disabled python support and enabled CMAKE_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.

"C:\caffe-windows\build\ALL_BUILD.vcxproj" (standard target) (1) ->
"C:\caffe-windows\build\tools\caffe.bin.vcxproj" (standard target) (5) ->

As other user in this group mentioned that the dependencies are possibly not correctly added to the PATH, I added "C:\caffe-windows\build\libraries\bin;C:\caffe-windows\build\libraries\lib;C:\caffe-windows\build\libraries\x64\vc12\bin" manually in advance. Still, I get the above error in Debug as well as Release mode.

In fact, Ninja build worked fine.
