/LIBPATH adds a path to the library search path, which isn't used here for libparrot.lib because the path to the library is already specified, i.e. your F<C:\work\parrot\libparrot.lib>. Note that there are two libparrot.lib files: $PARROT_HOME/libparrot.lib, the import library for the dynamic libparrot.dll, and $PARROT_HOME/blib/lib/libparrot.lib, the static Parrot library. Try deleting your $PARROT_HOME/libparrot.lib and you should see LIBPATH working. Embedding Parrot on Windows using the DLL is currently broken because PMCNULL is not properly exported. That's why you receive the latter unresolved symbol error. The static library (in blib/lib) doesn't suffer from this. Ron
