in thread building a "realtime" software synth

No, you need to compile the C parts of the modules, so either you download a precompiled PPM file (if you have ActiveState perl), or you need to do the full 
perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install

[download]
Routine.

You'll need MS Visual C compiler and nmake if you have ActiveState perl, or you can try cygwin, which has perl and gcc and make, so you can compile everything using free software.

    fair enough...

    problem is : when i am running 'perl makefile.pl' the message "Testing for Network Audio Server (NAS)" appears and then nothing happens, ie the application is stuck (i've left it for about 10 minutes or so...)

    i've got cygwin on my machine (especially for the cpan modules), but embarassingly enough i don't really know how to use it for this purpose.

    i'm sure you get a lot of this 'how do i install cpan modules' questions, so i hope this isn't to tedious for you.

        ok, thanks.
        shouldn't it be : 
        if (1)

        [download]
        ??
        so, it made the makefile (although i got a lot of : "Note(porbably harmless) no library found for ...." messages)

        can i now use cygwin to finish the job ?
        as i said, i'm not really sure how to use cygwin for this..

        thanks, b
