Ok, doing an old VC project did not work, so I tried based on the documentation discussing the winbuild folder and directly running the nmake /f Makefile.vc... and STILL get unresolved externals. This SHOULD NOT be this difficult on such a widely used and maintained system. All from a brand-new fresh download as of today.
I am using VS2013 command line prompt and from capturing the output via > redirection to text file and 2> redirecting error content I get
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll VS=12 > compileResult.txt 2> compileError.txt
