Re^6: RFC: Setting up a minGW compiling envronment for Perl 5.10

Cairo's make install has put the cairo.dll in I:\strawberry\per\lib\auto\Cairo

I don't think that will matter. The real problem is that I gave you a bum steer on the 'dlltool' command that needs to be run. You need to specify the dll name in the command. Try:

dlltool --input-def Glib.def --output-lib libGlib.a --dllname Glib.dll
[download]

... and similar re Cairo.

Cheers,
Rob
