Are you using the "MSI Installer" version of that distro ? According to this page, it's SHA1 digest should be: `e67728ddd89777815271ac7416cff32653d387bf` [download] Is that what you have ? (I get that SHA1 digest for the distro that I just downloaded - so that part looks fine to me.) If you get a different SHA1 digest for the distro you downloaded then, either you've grabbed a different distro, or you've got a corrupted distro. When I install that distro and run: `objdump -t C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516.a >dump.txt` [download] I get no errors ... so I'm thinking that you must be running a different objdump. Where is it coming from ? You need to run the objdump that's in C:/strawberry/c/bin ... so try: `C:/strawberry/c/bin/objdump -t C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516. +a >dump.txt` [download] Does that make any difference for you ? Finally, the various digests I get for libperl516.a are: `Enter the filename (full path): C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516 +.a MD5: e53826b93afd80de2e44038da93e63ba SHA1: 68737f9536907c5a37833b94e26685a10d9c5ce0 SHA256: c66d4ad43a583304b800e22966de0ab5baa6000ccb956643559b8e76f62e84 +dc` [download] Does that match what you get ? (No need to check all 3 - any one will do.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

SHA1 was correct. When I checked where `objdump` was, however, I found it in two places: my separate MSYS installation, and the strawberry one. Once I removed all of the MINGW stuff from the path, strawberry no longer had any trouble compiling XS stuff. Maybe I had a wrong version of MINGW or something; either way, I'm happy it works now. Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe I had a wrong version of MINGW It's probably a 32-bit version of MinGW - which will still work fine on your 64-bit system, btw. But there are incompatibilities between the 32-bit binaries it builds/uses and the 64-bit binaries that Strawberry builds/uses - and it's one or more of those incompatibilities that has bitten you in this instance. I'm pleased it's finally working. Thank you for the feedback. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
