Output of prove -v t\src\compiler.t is attached.
The generated linker command is incorrect. The /L option doesn't work
with the Microsoft linker
link -nologo -nodefaultlib -debug -machine:x86 -debug
t/src/compiler_2.obj src\parrot_config.obj -out:t\src\compiler_2.exe
-Lblib\lib libparrot.lib kernel32.lib ws2_32.lib msvcrt.lib oldnames.lib
But, if I run this command using the documented linker option of
/LIBPATH it *still* fails.
link -nologo -nodefaultlib -debug -machine:x86 -debug
t/src/compiler_2.obj src\parrot_config.obj -out:t\src\compiler_2.exe
/LIBPATH:blib\lib libparrot.lib kernel32.lib ws2_32.lib msvcrt.lib
oldnames.lib
The only way I've been able to make this command line work is like this:
link -nologo -nodefaultlib -debug -machine:x86 -debug
t/src/compiler_2.obj src\parrot_config.obj -out:t\src\compiler_2.exe
blib\lib\libparrot.lib kernel32.lib ws2_32.lib msvcrt.lib oldnames.lib
I am not sure why this is. C and C++ are not my areas of expertise, so I
may be doing something wrong here. I have tried it with the Visual
Studio tools for both 2005 (professional edition) and 2008 (express
edition) with the same results.
It looks like this would require a change to lib\Parrot\Test.pm to emit
a Visual Studio-specific linker command line.
This has been turning up in the Smolder reports since early August. See

The GCC toolchain on Win32 does not have these failures. See
