I cannot tell *what* $dldir is set to from the above. *Where* is the
"liblinuxsampler-1.dll" being installed to? Can you locate the file
after the install script runs?

In any case, this appears to be a build infrastructure that will result
in a broken installation for users. If as it appears might be the case,
the liblinuxsampler-1.dll file is being placed in
"/usr/local/lib/linuxsampler", then users are not going to have such a
directory in their PATH ($PATH, %PATH%). So there will be an error when
running the .exe is attempted.

A typical _viable_ plan for an application package like this one would
have the DLL (liblinuxsampler-1.dll) being installed to the same
location as the application .exe (in this case, "/usr/local/bin").
