QGIS » QGIS Application

Guys,
Am new here and am not sure if this is the correct place to post this problem, but please pardon me.

Am trying to build Qgis 64bit on windows using the instructions provided here [[https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL]], but am getting a couple of errors.

My development environment:

• Lenovo Thinkpad L540 - 12GB RAM
• Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - 64bit
• Visual Studio Express 2010
• MS SDK 7 - 64bit
• Python2.7 - 64bit
• CMake 3.0.2
• Cygwin64
• OSGeo4W64
• QGIS 2.9.0 # this what I got when I did CMake (configure/generate)

Message am getting when build is done in VC++:

========== Build: 218 succeeded, 9 failed, 0 up-to-date, 89 skipped ==========

These are the errors am getting :

89>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'

Particularly am concerned with this error Link error fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'. These are my python settings in CMake:

PYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=C:/Python27/python.exe
PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH:FILEPATH=C:/Python27/include
PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=C:/Python27/libs

BTW, had to tweak FindPythonLibary.cmake for Cmake to allow me change the PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH value, it kept defaulting to C:\\OSGEO4~1\\apps\\Python27\\include !!

What could I be missing?
