I didn't see the attachment, but the MSDN help for that error (
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173715.aspx) implies an issue
with the glib headers and the code page (936) used by your command prompt.
Maybe try using a different code page, or build as I do from a
PowerShell shell that is, I think, Unicode.

If building in a PowerShell shell, I use the following PowerShell script to
initialise the shell instance, adapt as required for your installation:

# Environment setup for Wireshark x64

$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = "x64 build"

$env:CYGWIN = "nodosfilewarning"
$env:WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR = "E:\Wireshark"
$env:WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM = "win64"
$env:QT5_BASE_DIR = "C:\Qt\Qt5.5.0-64\5.5\msvc2013_64"
$env:WIRESHARK_VERSION_EXTRA = "-GMB"

Import-VisualStudioVars 2013 x64

$Global:docmake = 'cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"
..\wireshark'
$Global:dobuild = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo Wireshark.sln"
$Global:doprep = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo
nsis_package_prep.vcxproj"
$Global:dopackage = "msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo
nsis_package.vcxproj"


Note that the "Import-VisualStudioVars" command comes from PowerShell
Community Extensions (PSCX - https://pscx.codeplex.com/), and can be
installed with chocolatey (choco install pscx).

The global variables "docmake" etc. are shortcuts for the command lines
used in building and are invoked as "iex $docmake" for example (using the
standard alias "iex" for Invoke-Expression).
