Do you have the dumpbin command available in the path?

:) yes. This is why I do not understand why the command does not run
correctly!

Strange indeed. I recognise this problem from earlier, but I thought it had
been fixed a long time ago. Can you confirm that you are building
8.3-current and not 8.2 here?


Also, looking at the original one it seems that it has dumped *some* files,
but not all. Could you modify gendef.pl line 22 to include the filename
that it's failing on, to see if that gets you further?
