• Did you try to auto-extract the DLL? (Score:2, Informative)

  Did you try to bind it like this:

  --bind SciLexer.dll[file=site\lib\auto\...\SciLexer.dll,extract]

  (with the correct full /site/lib/auto path of course)?

  Yes, I made sure the extracted file was next to the Scintilla dll in site/lib/auto/Win32/Scintilla, just as it was in the Perl installation. I really think that should have worked.
  
  I also put it in the current directory, still no dice.
  
  I even tried setting the PATH (since there is no LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Windows) to different locations where it was, but nooo.
  
  Maybe I made some other mistake, that's certainly possible.

    The extracted file should be in the main extraction directory (which automatically gets added to the PATH etc.), and not to site/lib/auto/Win32/Scintilla directory, which is where is normally lives. The --bind option quoted in my previous reply should have done this correctly.

    Could you run PerlApp again, and send me both the commandline used and the STDOUT/STDERR output via email?

      Thanks, I'll try that when I find the time.
      
      You should note that I use PerlApp 2 so the exact syntax isn't the same.

        Ah, ok. I don't think PerlApp 2 supports automatic extraction of bound files. You'll have to manually write it out to a directory on the PATH in order to make it work I guess. In that case it is probably easier to just ship the DLL separately with the executable. The syntax I gave earlier requires PerlApp 4.1 or later I believe.
