I was following the guide  
[https://libcinder.org/docs/release/v0.9.1/guides/windows-setup/index.html](https://libcinder.org/docs/release/v0.9.1/guides/windows-setup/index.html)  
But when I tried compiling the cubemapping project  
it gives me the following error: "Error LNK1181 cannot open input file ‘cinder.lib’"  
How can I make it work?

After reading these I compiled the snl in cinder\_0.9.1\_vc2013\proj\vc2015\_winrt folder.  
But when I tried to compile the sample it gives me a new error: DEP0001 : Unexpected Error: -1988945906  
Tried with both x86 and x64 options

try not to use the winrt solution:
