Question for the gamers

Windows version is up.

Thanks!
Before announcing the new version I downloaded and tried to give it a run (I've got WINE) and I'm getting the "incorrect application configuration" message which so commonly plagues MSVC developers. Could you check to see if a DLL is missing?

This page has details on how to cover all the bases:

Hmmm. That's odd, the game works fine for me right out of the zip. Does it say which dll is missing?

magicstix · 09-05-11, 04:59 PM

OK I pulled the zip and ran it on my other windows machine and got an error. I'll look into it, i think I'm probably missing the msvc c runtime dll.

For some reason it keeps trying to use the debug versions of the Visual C runtime libraries, I've gone back and rebuilt openSSN and all of its dependencies but the deps seem to still want to use debug symbols... I'll poke around at it some and see if I can fix it.

magicstix · 09-05-11, 06:01 PM

OK try it now. For some reason the SDL_gfx.dll was trying to link against debug symbols for the C runtime regardless of how I built it, so I built it with static linking of deps instead. Works on both of my windows machines now.

The new package works a-ok here. Everything seems to be intact and i was able to run it (emulated) and play through a mission. Very nicely done, sir. I will make the appropriate announcements.

Thank you very much for your hard work.

No, the error doesn't say which DLLs are missing. But one of the prime characteristics of the "incorrect configuration" error is that people with MSVC installed on their machines can run the program fine, but people without MSVC cannot. It's pretty common. The list of problem DLLs is available in the link I posted.

Update: I just you beat me to a follow up post.
