I am trying to compile aseprite using this tutorial here https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/master/INSTALL.md
I have installed Windows 10 SDK and Visual Studio 2015
I am using the CMake GUI because I am not familiar with using the command line at all
This is the CMake Log

I think I am just missing this step rather than doing something wrong
After you have executed one of the
cmake .. -G <generator>commands, you have to compile the project executing make, nmake, opening the solution, etc.
I tried using developer prompt for visual studio but this is what I get

I have already googled for about 3 hours and I am not understanding what I am supposed to do next I apologize but this is my first time compiling a program so I am kind of walking blind
CMake is used for configuration and generation of build system / IDE projects in a mostly compiler and platform agnostic way.
From what you posted it seems that you have used the Visual Studio generator, when you clicked Configure in Cmake-gui.
This generated the project files, the solution file and all the bells and whistles you need open it in Visual Studio (simply by double clicking on the .sln file usually). I haven't used CMake in such a way, but if I'm not mistaken, you can build the project from within Visual Studio (everything should be set).
Alternatively (the more command line way), is to use a different generator. For that you need to start from a different build directory or delete the current one, since you cannot change the generator after CMake's initial configuration has run.
It seems NMake should work for you (I don't have it on my system). After you ran the configuration again in a different directory using the NMake Makefiles generator, simply navigate there in a command window (probably developer prompt can work too), and issue the command:
nmake
This should build aseprite for you, and you'll find aseprite.exe in the bin folder.
EDIT: Mohammad's answer has the other key to your problem, you haven't changed drives, and as he points out, msbuild can be used to build Visual Studio solutions from command line.
