The *.dll.a files are so-called “import libraries” for the linker and are symbolic links to the related dll. It seems that the inno setup compiler is not able to deal with symbolic links. I will see how this could be fixed in further releases. A workaround is to use the following sh script, which recreates the necessary links. Enter /opt/kde3/bin before running it.
