in thread Import a DLL from C# to Perl

I guess it's also possible that building the executable with a Microsoft compiler does stuff that doesn't get done when building with gcc

If he's building stuff using the VS GUI,or one of the XML build files it generates; it likely doing a crap load of stuff that he hasn't explicitly asked for.

(eg. I think if you ask VS to link a C program to a C# dll, it knows to add (unseen) code to initialise the .NET runtime. (*I think*))

That said, I don't use gcc, so maybe that knows how to do all that stuff (now).
