I realize that this is more of a bug report for firebreath and I have reported it as such, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue.
I have been following the steps to install firebreath and getting it up and running for Windows and VS2013, from:
http://www.firebreath.org/display/documentation/Building+on+Windows
and from the step-by-step video:

After pulling from the git repo, updating the submodule, and running the python, there is a problem with running the Visual Studio prep script. Though the script runs and completes, it displays these messages...

In an attempt to fool myself that these messages would not be a problem, I continued on with the rest of the steps, all of which compiled and installed, only to be left with a generated plugin page and a message:
Plugin not working :(
There were no other errors/warnings that presented themselves throughout the process except for these messages. I have tried running different versions of firebreath with different versions of VS and all of them have these messages and all of the plugins end up broken.
What's going on, and how can I fix it?
Edit: For anyone else having an similar issue, the browsers were recognizing the plugin but were not allowing it to run. After a quick change in settings allowed the plugin to load and run. I am still curious in these errors though and still would like any other information that could be offered on the subject.
The errors displayed are due to the FireBreath 1.x project not yet being updated to work properly with cmake 3. If you use cmake 2.8.11.2 it should work fine.
