I think the problem here is related to the environment variables used by
the compiler and linker.  I have found I have to define these variables
using backslashes instead of forward slashes.  It seems the compiler
and/or linker can't read a forward slash.  Must need glasses. So, this
is what I put into my profile.ksh:

export INCLUDE="c:\mc\include"
export LIB="c:\mc\lib"
export TMP="c:\tmp"

When I change these to use forward slashes, I get the error you describe.
