The configure is trying to use "cl" as a C++ compiler. Is this a working C++
compiler? Or is it something else?

You can specify the C++ compiler by setting the environment variable CXX before
running configure. If you don't want the C++ API at all then you can use the
--disable-cxx option to configure, or set environment variable CXX to null.

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Ed
