But you will still have a dynamic build - perl58.lib is an "import" library rather than a "static" library. For dynamic builds using MSVC++ it is compulsory that you link to the import library. MSVC++ doesn't accommodate linking directly to the dll. For dynamic builds using MinGW (gcc), you generally have a choice - either link directly to the dll or link to the import library. In this instance, the dll (perl58.dll) has been built using MSVC++ and I therefore wonder whether MinGW can link directly to it. I would at least be trying to link to the import library (perl58.lib) in the hope that it would solve the problem.
