Subject: check_link_perlapi doesn't work properly with Visual Studio
Config::AutoConf->check_link_perlapi constructs default linker arguments from data in %Config: -L$installarchlib\CORE -lperl530.lib ... etc However this is the ld syntax. The MSVC linker takes libraries as arguments (no '-l' option) and the option to add library paths is /LIBPATH:dir https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/linking?view=vs-2015 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/libpath-additional-libpath?view=vs-2015

Please collect me from the very beginning: You're using a perl configured and built using MSys32 (gcc), e.g. Strawberry Perl. And try to compile something else using MSVC? Do I understand that correctly?

No, we've built Perl from source using Visual Studio and the Config-AutoConf/t/03.link.t test fails when installing Config-AutoConf

Okay, thanks for clarification. Since I currently have no reasonable access to any Windows-Machine, it might take some time to dig into it.

Sorry, I don't remember why I phrased this report this way, instead of just mentioning the failing test.

I would have asked the same question then, anyway :) It's important to know all the facts and I know especially from AIX users they use xlc built perl and want gcc build modules :) Cheers
