the first patch u gave me said,

but my scan.xs contained,

// Headers for stat support
#ifndef _MSC_VER
# include <windows.h>

so i have just replaced _MSC_VER with __WIN32__ at whatever files and locations you mentioned in that patch. Gave the previous output "Scan.o:Scan.c:(.text+0x8d00): undefined reference to `uncompress'" and ending up in fatal error as mentioned in above mails.

Now regarding this reply:

I downloaded zlib and unzipped it at "C:\vaman\zlib-1.2.8" (vaman directory also has audio scan project @C:\vaman\Audio-Scan-0.98). I executed this: C:\vaman\zlib-1.2.8\zlib-1.2.8>mingw32-make -f win32/Makefile.gcc as you said above. The generated libz.a i moved to the following location.

@Enter perl -V:libpth :

It gave libpth='C:\MinGW\i686-w64-mingw32\lib. So i moved libz.a to the above location.

But still it does not get thru successfully.

C:\vaman\Audio-Scan-0.98\Audio-Scan-0.98>nmake
