Visual Studio Linker Problem

[Jason C. Wells via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I am working my way up to building NanoVG per my previous post.

I am able to compile hello world using dmd2. I am running in 
cygwin because I understand bash way better than cmd.exe.

I am unable to compile hello world using ldc2. I am interested in 
ldc because I am interested in compiling to different arch-es and 
I happen to be a FreeBSD guy which uses LLVM by default. I figure 
that what I learn in LDC under windows will be portable for me.

I received this error:

$ ldc2 hello.d
Using Visual C++: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
14.0\VC
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libucrt.lib'
Error: `C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /s /c 
"C:\Users\jcw\Documents\Projects\Programming\dlang\ldc2-1.1.0-beta3-win64-msvc\bin\amd64.bat link.exe"` failed with status: 1104

The file "libucrt.lib" is found in several VS folders.

I am sure that this is some path issue, but I'm not savvy on 
VisualStudio. I read some scary messages about this error in 
other parts of the forum from about a year ago. Hopefully the 
solution is easier than what I read in that thread.

I see mention of a "vcvarsall.bat" file that might set my paths 
correctly, but this file is not found on my system.

I see mention of a VCINSTALLDIR variable which is not set on my 
system.
