    Really don't know if it would help but I'd recommend you to try out compiling with MinGW.

    What are the pros and cons of choosing MinGW over choosing Visual Studio? Or vise versa? I'd really like to understand what this additional dependencies problem is. That's all that keeping me from compiling the source.

    something you did is still sort of screwed up (Since shell32.lib is again something that should come with visual studio). The pros of using MinGW are that it works :P. The installer is a little confusing, but once you get past that it should be really easy.

    The cons are that it doesn't come with an editor, Visual studio is both a code editor and a compiler, but MinGW is just a compiler. You would either have to find another IDE, or code with visual studio and then compile in MinGW. Also if you want to debug, you would have to use something else (not Visual studio).
