So in fact you shouldn't even need DMC?
Ah, okay. I'm mostly on Linux so I generally miss anything
Windows-related. I was using the following link and figured I'd
install DMC as well.
So your linker errors show that you're using lld anyway. I'm on
my Linux laptop at a Starbucks atm, but I'm pretty sure that the
Windows distribution does not ship with any system libraries that
are compatible with lld. It only ships with a small set of OMF
link libraries that Walter got permission to distribute a couple
decades ago and that only work with the DM linker. So anything
that relies on the Windows APIs is not going to build without
something to link to.
You'll probably have no choice but to install the build tools.
