Thanks Owen, but I compile Blender on Linux since years with cmake and
on windows since some month with scons. The problem doesn't come from
the dependencies, as they are all from latest svn in lib\win64_vc12 and
blender compiles well when building from vs2013 UI. The problem is with
the .bat file given by Antony. I post it again as requested by sergey
(note that it completly fails to build, so it's not only a waring):
