Strawberry and MQSeries Problem

mpersico has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've taken the latest version of MQSeries and a Strawberry 5.18 and put them on a Windows 2008 box.

I managed to get MQSeries to compile with two tweaks. One is described in rt://88555, the other in rt://88587.

Those gets me through the compile. However, the link promptly blew up as below. Any clues?

I've seen the "undefined reference" link errors when the DLL is not in sync with the link library. I've gotten around it by creating a new library from the DLL with 'dlltool'. The other thing based simply on filenames is that .lib libraries are generally for use with the MSVC compiler package. Strawberry expects .a libraries. I see your MQSeries specific libraries are here: `E:\mq71\Tools\lib\mqic.lib E:\mq71\Tools\lib\mqic32.lib` [download] Where are the DLL's? Try this, replacing PATH_HERE with the proper path to the DLL's: `pexports E:\PATH_HERE\mqic.dll > mqic.def dlltool --as-flags=--64 -m i386:x86-64 -k --output-lib libmqic.a --inp +ut-def mqic.def pexports E:\PATH_HERE\mqic32.dll > mqic.def dlltool --as-flags=--64 -m i386:x86-64 -k --output-lib libmqic32.a --i +nput-def mqic.def` [download] Make sure to rerun 'dmake' and check that the link step is referencing the new libmqic.a and libmqic32.a libraries instead of the .lib ones. I've done this successfully with WinPcap when compiling Net::Pcap.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Turns out that the 64bit libs were in E:\mq71\Tools\lib64. Once I made that change in config, all was well. Thank you	[reply]

mpersico, Could you please share your CONFIG file here or share what you modified in the CONFIG to force the use of E:\mq71\Tools\lib64 ?	[reply]
