The problem might be what you did regard as a solution. You don't need a 
copy of objc.dll in the Libraries directory. What belongs here is 
libobjc.a, a stubs library that allows a program to be linked against a 
dynamic library. This should get installed the when you compile and 
install libobjc. If this did not happen you may copy it there yourself.
