dmake: Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\SAP\Rfc\Rfc.dll'

C:\strawberry\perl\SAP-Rfc-1.55>

Windows 2003, gcc compiler 3.4.5 and tried with both RFCSDK 6.40 and 7.0 with the same result.

Strawberry perl 5.10.0.

Any help is greatly appreciated .

Thanks

Hi -

SAP::Rfc is old and unsupported now - you should try using sapnwrfc for Perl - http://search.cpan.org/dist/sapnwrfc/ - this requires the new NW SAP RFCSDK with decent unicode support.

Cheers.

[Former Member]

Thank you Piers. Dmake succeeded after compiling the MSVC dll into mingw32 library. But the dmake test fails with dynamic load of the library SAPNW::Connector. Any help to resolve this is greatly appreciated .

Thanks

dmake: Error code 129, while making 'test_dynamic'

[Former Member]

Hi,

I think that with dmake test, the system is somehow trying to look for MSVC dll instead of the newly created gcc dll.This is causing the the dynamic libraries unsuitable for loading. There must be somewhere in the library , where ther rfc dll is being hardcoded. Although makefile gets the correct value?

Here is the exact windows pop up message when issued dmake test command.

"This application has failed to start because sapnwrfc.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

Can this possible point to fixing this issue? Looks like lot of people have experienced this issue.

Thanks

Hi - this is way beyond my Windows C programming knowledge -there maybe some hints in https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1056696. I'll do some asking around.

Hi -

I have asked Ulrich from the NW RFC SDK team, what he thinks. Can you start with looking into the following, and let me know what you find:

"

I think the Windows messages are quite correct in this regard, so this would simply mean the sapnwrfc.dll is not in the PATH?!

"This application has failed to start because sapnwrfc.dll was not found."

If one of the required runtime DLLs would be missing, we would definitely get a different error message. (I think... But then:

I'm no MS expert. So in order to make absolutely sure, he should check whether he has the ATL patch (latest C++ runtime

used when making sapnwrfc.dll) is installed on his machine. See

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112... )

Another idea: did he use the x64 sapnwrfc.dll on a x86 computer?

"

Hi,

I have set the path where the new .a file and the nwrfc.dll both and the process worked. Interestingly, makefile generated refers to the new dll file and compiles and links correctly. But the test I think somehow does something different. But it did solve the problem and able to access the RFCs .

Thank you for all the help.I think a really nice improvement to the library would be to add support for SAP objects and provide translation between SAP and Non SAP class structure(specially Java, as the features seem closer to java).May be SAP could be pursuaded to provide this support.

Also another note, the problems I faced are primarily due to the use of GCC compiler for windows since we have to generate a new shared library out of the dll file provided by SAP.
