in thread Problem with compiling Inline::C on cygwin

Today I tried to dig it some more and got to this: 
$ LD_RUN_PATH="" ld2  -s -L/usr/local/lib _04perlapi_t_3c76.o  -o blib
+/arch/auto/_04perlapi_t_3c76/_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll  /usr/lib/perl5/5.
+8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a
gcc -shared -o  cygperl5_8_0.dll -Wl,--out-implib=lib_04perlapi_t_3c76
+.dll.a -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--stack,
+8388608 \
-s -L/usr/local/lib _04perlapi_t_3c76.o  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-m
+ulti-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a
Creating library file: lib_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll.a
mv cygperl5_8_0.dll lib_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll.a blib/arch/auto/_04perla
+pi_t_3c76/

This was run for rule to make blib/arch/auto/_04perlapi_t_3c76/_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll - so I believe the problem is with the ld2 script - cause it made lib_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll.a instead.

    Actually, and I missed this in my first reply, the ld2 line does seem to be linking the library correctly (or at least without errors): 
    LD_RUN_PATH="" ld2  -s -L/usr/local/lib _04perlapi_t_3c76.o  -o blib/a
+rch/auto/_04perlapi_t_3c76/_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0
+/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a

    It does -o blib/arch/auto/_O4perlapi_t_3c76/_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll. This creates the dll in that directory (-o specifies the output file of the linking operation). So the problem occurs somewhere between this line (inclusive) and the chmod line further downstream. What's in blib/arch/auto/_04perlapi_t_c76 after you did the above steps?

    CU

      There is lib_04perlapi_t_3c76.dll.a - thats why I say there is something wrong with the ld2.
