Well ... I guess that's progress, at least :-)
Incidentally (for future reference), assuming you have ActivePerl, the easiest way to install both dmake and MinGW is to simply ppm install MinGW
That will give you all you need.

The 'dmake test' error has me baffled. Afaict, 'PLJava_start' is simply a function in PLJava.c, and I don't understand what java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: PLJava_start is supposed to tell me.

As recommended by the test output, I've read "the Chapter on Dynamic Linking" in "the SWIG Java documentation for help" ... but it didn't. That documentation can be viewed online. If anyone has ideas on what to do at this point, then please share. (I don't mind trying to solve a good puzzle, but I'm not a java person at all.)

Cheers,
Rob
