Dear Mantana, Visual Studio 2012 is not currently supported. Please use 2008 or 2010 as described in the build instructions. You can get express version for free. I don't recommend trying to make it work with 2012 unless you are familiar with porting software packages from compiler to another and willing to spend time on it.

Best,
Jussi
