Alright! Hermes compiled without probs. But make install didn't work. I 
can't figure out what excactly is wrong. Here's the output:

$ make install
Making install in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/CVS/Libs_Mingw/Hermes-1.3/src'
make[2]: Entering directory `/CVS/Libs_Mingw/Hermes-1.3/src'

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /bin/install -c  libHermes.la

dlpath=`/bin/sh 2>&1 -c '. .libs/'${base_file}'i;echo $dlname'`
dldir=/usr/local/lib/`dirname $dlpath`
test -d $dldir || mkdir -p $dldir
/bin/install -c .libs/libHermes-1.dll $dldir/libHermes-1.dll
/bin/install: cannot stat `.libs/libHermes-1.dll': No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

Can you see anything that points to the error?
