OK - I'm sorry, guys - I *know* better than to post such an 
uninformative piece of dribble like that - I guess we all have our 
moments :-)


Initially, before I posted the "Argh!", I was using a copy of 
mingw/msys/GTK that I had installed and had been using as a development 
environment for about a year and a half. I've since installed the latest 
versions of everything, from their respective websites.

I had to compile libxml2 and liboil myself, and install them.

Unfortunatly .......... I'm still getting the same error. It seems to 
occur in the dll generation phase, when it's trying to build a list of 
exported symbols. I don't know if gstreamer does things different from 
other packages, but I have a few of them here (iconv, gettext, etc) that 
also generate shared libraries/dlls, and they don't seem to trigger the 
same problem, so I don't know that there's anything seriously wrong with 
my setup.

configureation is pretty simple and basic ......... as per another 
poster here, I configured with

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gst-debug  --disable-valgrind

compilation was a simple make.

the error was as follows:
I've tried editing libtool to remove the "| |", which gives me *other* 
errors - it still fails in the same statement. In any case, I think 
editing that statement is half-assed - based on what I've seen in OTHER 
packages that also build and link against dll files, I don't think it 
should be invoked at all.

I've included both the complete configure & compile output as attachments.
