Errors while trying to build it on Windows 10

[silicode17]

I have downloaded the latest source code release from:
https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/archive/refs/tags/2023.11.14-2.zip

Unzipped it and executed the following commands (as per the Makefile example):

cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
cmake --build build --config Release

These are the errors I am getting:

The reason I need to build it from source is to get all the libs and dlls in release mode to use them in another C++ project.

The Windows build has been broken by these PR on the piper espeak fork rhasspy/espeak-ng#1. But the issues are disabled in that repo, so I can not report it.
