I haven't read through all of this thread, so I'm not sure this will answer your problems. But if I remember correctly the master branch of WDL-OL on github should be set up to work with vs community 2015.
if you're following martin finke's blog, please don't check out an old commit #, since that will cause you a world of pain.
I'm in the process of updating WDL-OL to work with visual studio community 2017+ and Xcode 8+, hopefully soon it will be possible just to go with those tools
