Cross-posting from Github where a friend of mine (a software developer) agreed to take a look and see if he can help. Here was his response after working on it some this weekend:

Well, worked on this for bit.
Few things so far….
1) The source code as downloaded is already configured into a VS2012 project, which is why I figured I needed 2012.
2) This project builds in debug mode “AS IS” in VS2012, with the exception of two recovery library’s that are not listed in the instructions on what’s needed to rebuild the imobiledevice library.
3) Going through the instruction to recreate the projects is missing a few steps, as some of the code and header files in the vendors folder, which is not listed as needed in the instructions, are assumed to already be there or already be built. So it’s a trial and error process figuring out which pieces need to be pulled over. The fact that the existing solution builds indicates all the missing parts are there somewhere.
4) Started going down the route of changing over the existing solution to incorporate the changes listed in the build steps, but the release configuration isn’t configured at all so once again, going through a trial and error to get the release aspect to build with the changes.
So taking more time than anticipated.

If anyone can help answer his queries, perhaps we'll be getting closer.
