LNK1104 error with python setup.py build - python-3.x

I have built Quantlib on Windows using Visual Studio 2017 and want to build Quantlib-SWIG for Python.
However, I have LNK1104: error. Namely, after launching Command Prompt from C:\QuantLib-SWIG-1.12\Python directory I receive this error:
fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'QuantLib-vc90-x64-mt.lib'
I saw a similar question with advise from Luigi Ballabio and KingJohnno to verify if QuantLib-vc90-x64-mt.lib file is in place & add to the path variable C:\QuantLib-SWIG-1.12.
I did the last suggestion, but I have the problem with that I have in C:\QuantLib\QuantLib-1.12\lib a QuantLib-vc141-x64-mt.lib library, i.e. not the file QuantLib-vc90-x64-mt.lib. I have created separate directory with vc141 file renamed to vc90. This did not help.
I have also read online that the problem might be with the Python specifically builded using different VS version. I have downloaded Python 2.7 builded using VS 2010 (not VS2008) and did not succeed as well.
Please see the whole terminal message here:

CLion EWDK MSVC Toolchain doesn't find kernel32.Lib

Morning,
I am currently moving my whole dev environment from VS2019 to CLion and can't get the Enterprise Windows Driver Kit (WDK) build environment working. After setting up the toolchain I get the following error message:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:8 (project)
So my guess would be that CLion isn't able to find the correct Windows Kit that includes the missing static linked libs.
When working with VS2019 this issues is not existing as LaunchBuildEnv.cmd will take care of setting all paths.
Basically you just start LaunchBuildEnv.cmd then type SetupVSEnv and start VS2019 from the cmd and all paths etc. are fixed automatically.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for CLion. When pointing CLion to the Build Tools folder it is able to detect everything correctly but seems to no be able to get the Windows Kits from E:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10.
I already tried to supply CLion with SetupBuildEnv.cmd as the Environment File without any success.
So I wanted to ask if somebody know how I need to supply this path to CLion so it is correctly forwarded to cl.exe.

NMake under KDevelop (Win7) : error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'

I have an existing project that I didn't know how to create a vs solution from it. So I decided to use KDevelop which can parse the directory and use the CMakeLists.txt.
The thing is that cmake can't find some lib files for the linking. The directory that these files are stored is in PATH. At first I thought that I might be compiling for another ARCH but I don't know where to go from here.

Are there any ideas on what could be wrong?
EDIT : SOLVED
At last I found a rather hackish workaround. The batch file for KDevelop in VS enviroment, doesn't work for VS-2017 (which defined the VS150COMNTOOLS variable) but it supports up to VS-2015 (VS140COMNTOOLS).
VS2017 changed the layout of it's folders so the old SET script="!base!\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" really becomes SET script="%base%..\..\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64.
Of course this new script should be run inside Developer Command Prompt console and not by just clicking the batch file.

I found this forum with a slightly active/recent question asking about this same issue here:
Internal compiler error in outdname.c in VS15.7p3 when building Firefox webrtc code
Is there anything I can do from this point to fix this?
Downgrading my version of VS to 2015 allowed me to bypass this compiler error and compile QT successfully.

Running nmake -f ms\nt.mak produces the same error.
I am not sure why building for platform VC-WIN32 leads to an error about ARM platform. Also, I haven't find any question about this error on VS2015, only VS2013 and below, in which compiling for ARM platform is really not supported.
Any suggestions?
I've found out what was wrong:
I have run the commands in VS2015 x64 ARM Cross Tools Command Prompt instead of in VS2015 x86 Native Cross Tools Command Prompt.
Running in VS2015 x86 Native Cross Tools Command Prompt solved the issue.

Compiling C++/CX on the command line

I get the linker error fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'platform.winmd': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH environment variable when I try to compile a C++/CX program on the command line.
The error is the same after I followed the instructions on this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn769142.aspx (to summarize: run cl /ZW /EHsc source.cpp from the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015)
I also tried running vcvarsall.bat x86 store from the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 but I still get the same error (the same error also happens when running vcvarsall.bat x86 store from a plain command prompt).
UPDATE: Apparently this bug has been fixed in VS2015 Update 1, I have not been able to test myself yet though.
As it turns out some command line parameters are missing from the documentation mentioned in the question, here is the full command line required to compile a small program:
cl /ZW
/ZW:nostdlib
/D WINAPI_FAMILY=WINAPI_FAMILY_APP
/D __WRL_NO_DEFAULT_LIB__
/Gm-
/EHsc
/MDd
/FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib\store\references\platform.winmd"
/FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\References\Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract\1.0.0.0\Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract.winmd"
/FU"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\References\Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract\1.0.0.0\Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract.winmd"
smurf.cpp
/link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE
Where smurf.cpp contains:
using namespace Platform;
int main(Platform::Array<Platform::String^>^ args)
{
Platform::Details::Console::WriteLine("This is a C++/CX program.");
}
Will successfully print:
C:\Users\Mikael>smurf.exe
This is a C++/CX program.
