The above line indicates that the `configure' script couldn't preprocess
a test program using the command `CL /EP'.  The reason for this should
be in the file `config.log'.

The above line indicates that the `configure' script couldn't compile a
test program using the command `CL'.  The reason for this should be in
the file `config.log'.

You should verify that you can, indeed, preprocess and compile a C file
using the relevant commands.
