I can see that the Makefile actually runs that command after link.exe:
if exist blib\arch\auto\XML\LibXML\Common\Common.dll.manifest
mt -nologo
-manifest
blib\arch\auto\XML\LibXML\Common\Common.dll.manifest -outputresource:
blib\arch\auto\XML\LibXML\Common\Common.dll;2
But 'blib\arch\auto\XML\LibXML\Common\Common.dll.manifest' does not exist.
Note that I'm not actually building XML-LibXML-Common with VC 8. I'm using
the Platform SDK, Windows Server 2003 R2 compiler. It's just that I'm
linking against dynamic xml2 and iconv libraries that were built with VC 8.
It all works fine, except for the runtime error. (There must surely be a way
of resolving this without having to build the libraries using the SDK
compiler.)
I did find a manifest file for an x86 Net::SSH2 dll, and I've tried to
create a manifest file for Common.dll based on it. But I don't seem to be
able to get it right. With my Common.dll.manifest file in place, I can then
successfully run the mt.exe command, but 'nmake test' then outputs the
error:
Can't load 'blib\arch/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.dll' for module
XML::LibXML:
:Common: load_file:The application has failed to start because its
side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event
log for more detail at C:/_64/perl1004/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 202.
at test.pl line 10
Cheers,
Rob
