3.4 uses visual studio 2010, for starters. 3.5 uses 2015.

Agreed with all of the above.

You'll be much happier using either 3.5 with VS 2015, or 3.4 with VS 2010. You might coerce things the other way around, but you won't get official support for it and you won't match the rest of the world (in particular, binary packages from PyPI won't work).

It also looks like you have a lot of missing dependencies.

Run PCbuild\get_externals.bat after installing Subversion (and ensuring that svn.exe is on PATH) to resolve the missing dependencies. The other errors will require patching the source, and it's too late in the 3.4 release cycle for those patches to be accepted for 3.4.5. I also find it much simpler to use PCbuild\build.bat instead of building from the VS GUI. A 32bit Release build with all the optional pieces can be accomplished with PCbuild\build.bat -e; add '-p x64' for a 64bit build.
