Hi monks, I installed Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Now when I tried to compile my perl_inc.c program as in my earlier thread I still am getting some errors

E:\>cl.exe -DWIN32 -I"C:\Perl\lib\CORE" C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl58.lib -o

perl_inc.c
C:\Perl\lib\CORE\sys/types.h(20) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open incl

Then I tried to compile a simple program hello.c

#include <stdio.h> 
int main()
{
     printf("Hello World\n");
     return 0;
}
[download]

I got an error saying

/out:hello.exe
/out:hello.exe

hello.obj
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "LIBC.lib"

But libc.lib is found in 'C:\Perl\lib\CORE' directory. I don't understand why I am getting these errors? I am fed up. Please help me.
