i have been using win32::multimedia:: joystick for many years on a variety of computers. i can not get it to work on my new win 10 computer no matter what i do. i get a compilation failed in require error message. the requires are dynaloader, exporter and autoloader. i have tied replacing these with versions form machines on which they work and have tried everything else i can without success. win32::multimedia::joystick was installed using PPM or Cpanamis as i have done in the past. there must be some version conflict but i do not see any specific version specified in the joystick PM code. i have checked path and env variables and added everything i can and again it will not work. many other PMs i have installed work fine but i have not done a lot of testing on this new machine. there is another joystick PM that works fine but it only works with three axis and very few of the buttons so my preferred one should work if i can get beyond the include issue. anything to check that i might have missed? any win 10 incantations necessary?
