protobuf 3.11.3 "nmake check" errors

[David Shelton]

Windows 10 OS

VS 2019

I've gone through all the compile steps as per instruction in git, everything went fine up to this point with the unit-tests 

C:\venv\Lib\site-packages\protobuf-3.11.3\cmake\build\release> nmake check

I just keep getting this error and nothing that I can find online seems to help much. Also am unable to locate how to export a more comprehensive error log to troubleshoot this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've gotten too far to give up now

Not sure if this is relevant but I am using the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 as suggested on the git and the most uptodate master branch of protoc
