The Microsoft compilers include in their distribution some scripts that
add the compiler binary directories to your search path and set some other
needed env vars. Look for something along the lines of VCVARS32.BAT in
your compiler binary directory.
But just running the batch file in a shell won't do it since you'll be
calling the compiler from the idlde application. You'll have to add the
items that the BAT file adds in your Windows "Environment Variables". You
could also hack the MAKE_DLL settings to do the same thing, but then those
hacks are applicable only to your machine. I find it better to add the
items to the Windows environment.

The C compiler is not in your search path, that's why cl .exe is not
found. Try using the same command line parameters for VC6. My guess is
they will work.
