Marc:
I have a student who's downloaded the Visual C Gambit package for Windows; the Gambit 4.6.3 compile script calls cl.exe, but this page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9s7c9wdw%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
(found doing a google search for cl.exe) says that this script is available only on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
He's running Windows 7.
He's willing to install MinGW and see how that works on his box, but do you need to update the Visual C compiler version of Gambit?

The cl.exe driver still works with VS2008 and Windows 7.

Ben: Thanks for the info.
Perhaps we were somewhat ineffective, but we couldn't find cl.exe on his hard drive, so when I saw the old message, I thought maybe it wasn't installed on Windows 7; but this page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9s7c9wdw%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
does say that it runs "on operating systems that support Microsoft Visual Studio", as you say.
Do we have to do something special to install cl.exe, or did we just look in the wrong place?

If he has Visual Studio he must have cl.exe. Otherwise, it's a free download:

I see no reason why the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler wouldn't run on Windows 7. That's the OS I use to build the Windows installer.

The gcc compiler in MinGW compiles faster than cl.exe and it generates faster code. If your students wants fast code it is a good idea to install MinGW.
