On invoking cl you should additionally specify the directory, where
glpk header files are placed, and the glpk library file, i.e. something
like this:

cl /Ic:\glpk\include yourfile.c c:\glpk\glpk.lib

For more details about cl options see microsoft documentation.

To compile glpk you can use the batch file Build_GLPK_with_VC6.bat
included in the distribution (see directory w32).
