Description

Mesos failed to build due to error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 1 on Windows using MSVC. It can be first reproduced on e0f7e2d reversion on master branch. Could you please take a look at this isssue? Thanks a lot!

Reproduce steps:

1. git clone -c core.autocrlf=true https://github.com/apache/mesos D:\mesos\src
2. Open a VS 2017 x64 command prompt as admin and browse to D:\mesos
3. cd src
4. .\bootstrap.bat
5. cd ..
6. mkdir build_x64 && pushd build_x64
7. cmake ..\src -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0.17134.0 -DENABLE_LIBEVENT=1 -DHAS_AUTHENTICATION=0 -DPATCHEXE_PATH="C:\gnuwin32\bin" -T host=x64
8. msbuild Mesos.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64 /maxcpucount:4 /t:Rebuild
