Visual Studio 2015 setup

Dependencies:

wxWidgets

• Download the latest release from here https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases. Currently working with 3.0.2
• Extract to c:\wxWidgets
• Open the latest solution file in C:\wxWidgets\build\msw\ as of 3.0.2 the solution is wx_vc12.sln
  
• Build all of the libraries in Visual studio by going to Build -> Batch Build -> Select All -> Build . . . . This will take a while while the build performs.

If you attempt to build 3.0.2 and receive a the build error
C1189 #error: Macro definition of snprintf conflicts with Standard Library function declaration
The fix is to open the file c:\wxwidgets\src\tiff\libtiff\tif_config.h, goto line 367 and replace it with the following

#if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER < 1900))
  #define snprintf _snprintf
#endif

Now, batch build and the compile will succeed.
