It is still possible to build on Windows 10, but you'll need to install the "Bash and Linux Subsystem" option from the Windows Features, then enable developer mode in the PC developer's settings. It can be fully built from within the windows bash shell now.

I checked the analytic forex, and found that it at the moment is only build able with Visual Studio 2015. If you would install it, it would build. Anyway I made a pull request with Visual Studio 2017 support to the analytic forex project. Anyway not sure if this will be accepted. If not can you fork it to hold the change?
Here the pull request:
