cd src

Are you in fact trying to build 8.3? Or the current version? You linked
to the 8.3 docs, but the patch filename suggests it's against 9.3.1.

In general patches should be against current git master.

It'd be good if you could provide some accompanying detail. What SDK or
Visual Studio are you using? On what OS and version? Exactly what build
steps did you take to encounter the error you report, and what is the
exact text of the error?

Such details will help others find out about an issue by searching
later, and they'll help focus testing of any patch.
