Ah, that command prompt...
VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\
WindowsSdkDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\

However the said windows kit folder has tree like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\{arm,x86,amd64}

That 'win8\um' sub-folder is what must be throwing it off. It's nothing 
like that in Win7 SDK.

Okay, then it could very well be just me messing with paths/env.

OT: MS x64 compiler too could be had for free (it come with SDK I 
installed not VS express)

Thanks! I could borrow that.
With that said I don't quite like Makefiles at all.
