title: How to build aseprite executable
body: <p>I am trying to compile aseprite using this tutorial here <a href="https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/master/INSTALL.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/master/INSTALL.md</a></p>
  
  <p>I have installed Windows 10 SDK and Visual Studio 2015</p>
  
  <p>I am using the CMake GUI because I am not familiar with using the command line at all</p>
  
  <p>This is the CMake Log</p>
