Net-SNMP : Unable to build in VC 2017 Version 15

I have recently download Net-SNMP code from their website and trying to build in VC 2017 - and it fails.

The extracted folder has win32.dsp and win32dll.dsp - when I try to open in VC IDE I get error like -

Message

 snmptrapd\snmptrapd.dsp: Unable to convert project. Please make sure this is a valid Visual C++ 6.0 project. 
 snmptrapd\snmptrapd.dsp: Project upgrade failed. 

 snmptrapd\snmptrapd.dsp: Converting project file 'C:\tools\netsnmp\net-snmp-5.8\win32\snmptrapd\snmptrapd.dsp'.

Almost for all projects - the build via command line 'nmake' utility also fails with below error -

If you built with OpenSSL you may have set INCLUDE and LIB paths and replaced the ones set by vcvars. If you set INCLUDE and LIB before running vcvars it will probably work. I concatenated to them to fix the issue.

I can't build directly from VS2017 neither.
According to the file README.win32, install ActivePerl first, then run win32\build.bat.

Updated: I have just push a branch that fixed compilation issue. Have a look at this: https://github.com/sanbrother/net-snmp/tree/VS2017/v5.8
(solution file net-snmp\win32\win32dll.sln)

PS: It seems that, old version (may be before 5.7.3???) has no such problems. New code split some files into multiple ones, and caused compilation issue under Windows.
