Building gems?

So I'm trying to build release gems so that I can use the advance settings in the project configurator because every time i go into advance settings it says that specific gems need to be build in order to have them added to the system entity editor.

But when I run "lmbr_waf.bat build_win_x64_vs2015_release -p gems" it just errors out.

Here's the error from the latest build:

Project spec: Completely new blank project. No configuration except to allow regular compiling with linking a gem's library. (Apparently if you use a gem with an outside library, it doesnt automatically link to the launcher.exe when compiling. i.e. lib and libpath in wscript).
