in thread Audio::TagLib and Strawberry Perl

Thank you,
That got me a bit further, Now it cannot find the taglib libraries ...
I have built the libraries (taglib.dll, taglib.a) (after almost 20 hours, what a mess) but have no clue where to put them so they are found!
I have tried adding them to a folder that is in the path, no luck.
What and Where does the 'cpan Audio::TagLib' install look for in relation to the taglib library components?

The Error:

    Now it cannot find the taglib libraries ...

    The dll needs to be in the path. Options for making the import lib (taglib.a) locatable include:

    1) placing it in C:/strawberry/c/lib
    2) setting the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to its location (set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\wherever\it\is).

    Similarly, if there are taglib headers that need to be found you can:

    1) place them in C:/strawberry/c/include
    2) set the CPATH environment variable to their location (set CPATH=C:\wherever\they\are).

    Not sure if the "LIBRARY_PATH" approach will work on your strawberry. It depends upon which version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker you have.
    The "CPATH" solution should work fine on all versions of strawberry.

    Cheers,
    Rob

      Dunno if this will help, but it might...

      Assuming that the code 129 is the OS return code from a program dmake is trying to run, then:

      C:\test>perl -E" say $^E = 129"
The %1 application cannot be run in Win32 mode

      Which kind of suggests that a 32-bit program is trying to load a 64-bit dll.
