You're not following the correct build procedure for 2.2.5 as shown in the Developers Guide Sect 2.2.

Basically, you need to run CMake to produce a Visual Studio solution and then use msbuild to build that solution. You should follow the steps in the Developers Guide, any deviation is likely to lead to build issues.
