From a web search:

0xc00007b error "the application was unable to start correctly"

there may be multiple reasons as to why you might receive 0xc00007b error when trying to run an application on a windows machine. 0xc000007b error usually comes from mixing up 32bit environment with 64bit one. For example 32bit application loads a 64bit dll causing 0xc000007b error.

Looks like you are mixing 32-bit built binaries with a 64-bit build, or vice versa.

Post the console log from the build.

    Yes, I've googled something like this. I uncommented WIN64 = undef so it means that I have 32bit perl, yes? Also perl-v shows MSWin32-x86.

    Build log is really long, which part should I post?

      You should uncomment that only if your Windows OS is 64-bit && your compiler is 32-bit.
      Maybe run "nmake distclean" and then try re-building with that line commented out .... see if that improves things ....

      Cheers,

        if your Windows OS is 64-bit && your compiler is 32-bit I honestly think that it is my case)

        Good news: it's worked with native x64 bit nmake! Though I'm confused because it seems to be called amd64 and I have Intel.

        Bad news: it fails completely with native x86 bit nmake. Error message: "module type (x86) does not match with target machine type (x64)". So it seems that compiler is 64-bit
