Comment:

 Hi Philip,

 Writing the reply below, I realized that the problem might simply be that
 the configure script doesn't like the extension '.EXE' for the compiler
 and linker executables... ;)  Please try it again, but specify CL and LINK
 instead of CL.EXE and LINK.EXE.  If that works let me know and I will
 adapt the configure scripts in the future.

 Otherwise:

 It is possible that there were some old objects lying around?

 please do the following:

  1. Obtain a clean copy of the code
  1. Do a VPATH configuration:  In the base directory of the package (i.e.,
 where the basic configure script is), do
 {{{
 mkdir build
 cd build
 ../configure CXX=cl
 make
 make test
 make install
 }}}

 That should work...

 If it doesn't, please attach the CoinUtils/config.log file to this ticket.
