When i went to scan folder, there is no scan.dll present inside.

I did a little google search, it says this arise when i have both active and strawberry perl installed. But i have only active perl installed.

I've just checked with my Strawberry Perl (perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread), using the following patch to the 3 files (specified in the bug report):

Works fine for me.
And it should work fine with any ActiveState Perl for which 'perl-V:cc' reports that 'cc' is 'gcc'.

I must say that I find it exceedingly annoying that the author has done nothing to remove the need for this patching.
Audio-Scan-0.98 was released just 3 months ago, though the bug report was filed over 5 years ago !!

Cheers,
Rob

Annoying traditions have traditional solutions

tried the above patch @syphilis. It still doesnt work. I am using active perl. Following is what i am getting still:

The error it gives is redefinition of 'struct _GUID'. It is present in \include\common.c of AudioScan project as well as in compiler at C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\MinGW\i686-w64-mingw32\include\guiddef.h.

What do i do next.

Just for a try, i commented 'struct_GUID' from common.h. It gave the following error:

Also, the readmewin32 file of Audio-scan-.98 says:

"nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc
Copy zlib.lib, zlib.h, zconf.h into the Audio::Scan win32 directory (o
+verwriting latter two files)".
[download]

I downloaded audioscan.98.tar multiple times from cpan. After extract the project doesn't have any win32 folder. I want to install any working version of audio scan urgently.

Thanks in advance.
