If you're sure that the native recode.dll has been built, is it possible that it's just not found, because it's not in Windows' DLL search path? Keep in mind that Windows searches DLLs in the OS default paths, in $PATH, or in the same dir the executable has been started from. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-order So at a guess, you either just have to add the directory where recode.dll resides to $PATH, or you have to copy the DLL into a path already in $PATH.
