What would the fix be? There's this code in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid which is,
I presume, the problem:
if ($VC and exists $ENV{LIB} and $ENV{LIB}) {
push @libpath, split /;/, $ENV{LIB};
}
which seems to pretty explicitly want to pull LIB from the environment when
using Visual C. Can something be done to handle the spaces?
Also, since the code is only tripped when $Config{cc} =~ /^cl/i (I presume
this is Visual C/Studio), how is it true in Cygwin?
