[Bf-committers] Building Blender

[Ray Molenkamp]

-Sorry for the late response, I'm currently traveling so connectivity is spotty at best.

you should be able to make a build with 2015 given 3 conditions are met

1) you have msvc 2015 update 3 or higher

2 You have a full set of our libs in the right place

3) you run 'make full 2015 x64' in the blender source folder.
