I managed to get this working. At first it failed because I don't have pexports - it's not available inside msys as far as I could tell. And seems to be unmaintained. But replacing pexports with gendef fixed that. There's this comment in src/pl/plperl/GNUmakefile # Perl on win32 ships with import libraries only for Microsoft Visual C++, # which are not compatible with mingw gcc. Therefore we need to build a # new import library to link with. but I seem to be able to link fine without going through that song-and-dance? Greetings, Andres Freund
