Subject: won't build under Microsoft Visual Studio 6
The linker reports exif.obj : warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored exif.obj : warning LNK4042: object specified more than once; extras ignored EXIF.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol boot_Image__EXIF EXIF.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol boot_Image__EXIF blib\arch\auto\Image\EXIF\EXIF.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals LINK : fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of exports file and refuses to build. I'm guessing that EXIF.def is something created automagically for Windows, and isn't necessary on Unices where everything is exported from a shared library by default.

for windows you have to rebuild exif.c to _exif.c With best regards, sergey s prozhogin. E-mail: ccpro@rrelaxo.org.ru
Thanks for your report. I’ve recently taken over maintainership of Image::EXIF, and I believe the new Image::EXIF 2.00 release fixes this issue. The new release should soon appear here: https://metacpan.org/release/Image-EXIF
