Doh ... that works to the extent that a JNI.dll gets built in the right place - but, naturally, since JNI.o was not given as an input file, it's a useless JNI.dll that you end up with :-) 'dmake test' still passes all tests - but, surely, that's only because there's no tests for the JNI extension. Better to decline the invitation to build the JNI extension at the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage, rather than to proceed with the above (useless) kludge. Unfortunaltely, whenever I do add 'JNI.o' to the command I still get "undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'". I'll try and find out why that happens .... MinGW's gcc normally has no trouble in linking to MSVC '.lib' files. Cheers, Rob
