Re: Install Perl module sapnwrfc on Windows

[syphilis]

C:\Temp\nwrfcsdk\lib\sapnwrfc.lib: error adding symbols: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is very similar to the error reported in Re^2: Tcl for Strawberry Perl on Windows 64bit:

C:\Tcl\lib\tcl86.lib: error adding symbols: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

A fix to that problem is laid out in this post in that thread.
Update: If it's not readily apparent, the gendef and dlltool commands will create a new import lib (from the dll) that *is* compatible with MinGW.

(Seems that MSVC-generated import libs are incompatible with MInGW.)

There was an additional issue in that thread (regarding the wrong zlib1.dll) but that's not relevant here.

Cheers,
Rob
