In theory, those instructions should work, but I'm fairly sure there
are bugs with the scons build on Windows that need to be worked on for
the various Windows compilers. Would you be willing to lend yours? If
so, we'll add your version to the OmeroCpp page.

ICE_HOME should definitely be set, but only to the top-level install
directory:

  ICE_HOME=C:\Ice-3.3.1

The config.log under OmeroCpp will tell you why this step didn't pass
(at the moment it's because ICE_HOME is improperly set). You can see
an example config.log file here:
