I sent this message a few days ago, but hasn't reached the list I think:
hi, I experimented on windows with removing some libs that seemed unnecessary, and I ended with this line in my Makefile; C_LIBS = kernel32.lib ws2_32.lib msvcrt.lib which is rather shorter than: C_LIBS = oldnames.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib netapi32.lib uuid.lib ws2_32.lib mpr.lib winmm.lib version.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib msvcrt.lib Particle mentioned that this information (what libs to link) is probably coming from Perl's config. I'm sending this as a TODO, so this information won't get lost. best, kjs On 5/20/07, Ron Blaschke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

From your command line you seem to refer to Visual C++, but patch 42950 looks like it's intended for MinGW. For Visual C++ the libraries are pulled in from your Perl (see perl -V:libs). Ron
