Very interesting. Never done that for me :-) I need to do some more
checking. Let me know if you figure out exactly why this happens...

Nope. build.bat pretty much just calls mkvcbuild.pl (to generate the
project files), and then calls msbuild to build all the project files -
the exactly same way the GUI does it. (Or it's supposed to be exactly
the same way). Nothing more. So GUI building is just fine, just not
automated.
