I have downloaded the Jigsaw(Jake) repositorys per the instructions, I have JDK8 installed and Visual Studio 12 installed. When I run configure from the top directory it dies on the Visual Studio test as below:

Checking Visual Studio 14 I found that and copied it to VS12, re-ran cofigure, it needed libvcruntime which I copied, re-ran and it needed libucrt.lib... this file is found in Windows Kit/10/Lib. I am running Windows 10 so a mention of this to Windows 10 users needs to be included or they won't be able to build. Thank you for your attention.
