Re: [perlce-user] Problems encountered while running Perl Modules in PerlCE

[<cha...@ya...>]

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
we think that io.dll,socket.dll etc has to be rebuilt 
for the wince4.20 x86 platform for running perl
modules on perlCE. 
But it seems that the makefile.ce does not build those
files.
(Pls see our modified makefile attached below.)
We need the source file & makefile for cosscompiling
io.dll,socket.dll,cwd.dll etc for porting perlce to
WinCE 4.20 x86 platform to run perl modules. 
Can anyone please help us on this ?

We are stuck with the error message --
 "cann't load io.dll" 
(126 -ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND)
although the specified dll is in specified path.
The other error is "cann't load cwd.dll" 
(193 - ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT).

We also found from the debug log of platform builder
that
"DoImport Failed! Unable to import Library
'WINSOCKM.dll' for 'IO.dll'  "
but there is no file named winsockm.dll !!
 Another error coming in platform builder debug log is
--
 " ERROR: function @ Ordinal 8934 missing in Module
'coredll.dll' "

Can you please tell us where we are going wrong. 

Thanks and Regards,
Anirban
