Thank you so very much! You were right, it is a solution to change to the right order by manually executing: g++ --shared -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--stack,8388608 -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/e2fsprogs UUID.o -luuid -o blib/arch/auto/UUID/UUID.dll /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/CORE/libperl.dll.a So my next question is: Do you know what parameters are needed so that the Makefile will be created with the right settings (without manually executing g++ after the crashed first make)? Because creating it with: perl Makefile.PL LIBS=-L/usr/lib/e2fsprogs results to the not functioning g++ line without ... -L/usr/lib/e2fsprogs UUID.o -luuid ... (which was the reason for (unfortunately) false editing of the Makefile). At the beginning I can even see: ... MakeMaker ARGV: (q[LIBS=-L/usr/lib/e2fsprogs]) ... # LIBS => [q[-luuid]] ... But it does not seem to affect the g++ call. And by the way, in the PostgreSQL posts dllwrap was used with -Wl,-Bstatic,-luuid,-Bdynamic so when do I need the -Bstatic, -Bdynamic and should I use it too?
