That is correct, but it was already mentioned that you shouldn't try to build
the Stable version anyway; you'll run into too many problems with adapting it to
VS 2015.

You'll need the zip package for the "master" branch, which has a
"source/base/build.h".

You have to load what is called the solution file, "windows/vs10/povray.sln".

Make sure in the combo boxes under the menu bar you have selected "Release" (as
opposed to "Debug" or "Release-SSE2"), and "x64" (presuming you're using a
64-bit version of Windows).

Then you'll need to select "Build Solution" from what is called the "Build" menu
(if I remember correctly off the top of my head).
