Code Blocks can't find dll in Windows

(1/2) > >>

Zahid.Aziz:
I have installed the latest nightly build for Windows following all the step at the link:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_nightly_build_on_Windows

When I try to start Code Blocks it produces the message that wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll was not found, even though this dll is in the same directory as codeblocks.exe. I have also tried placing the dll in my Windows directory, and have re-booted the PC, but the message persists.

Presumably I have overlooked something simple. Any advice would be appreciated.

Zahid.

Hello,

Just download it from this link, and place it under the same path where the codeblocs.exe file is located:

http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/wxmsw26u_gcc_cb_wx2.6.3p2.7z

One more thing, make sure you are not uncompresing the Nightly build under an ancient installation (try to sue a clean folder), the steps are quite intuitive:

- Uncompress the Codeblocks Nicghtly build into an empty folder.
- Place the unicode DLL on the same folder.
- If you don't have MingW installed on your system, you will need the mingw DLL, just download it from this link: http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/mingwm10.7z and uncompress it into the CB folder.

It should be working rigth now  :D

I had followed exactly these instructions that you have listed, and the error occurred. I have never before downloaded or installed a nightly build. I have also tried downloading and installing this on another PC (which we keep in a "clean" state for development purposes), and got the same error upon starting Codeblocks, namely, that it cannot find the file wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll. But this file is right there in the Codeblocks directory!

Zahid.Aziz:
I have sorted out my problem. The zip file which I downloaded yesterday was in fact called:

wxmsw26_gcc_cb_wx2[1].6.3p2.7z

and not:

wxmsw26u_gcc_cb_wx2[1].6.3p2.7z

Therefore the dll is my directory was:

wxmsw26_gcc_cb.dll

and not:

wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll

I have got hold of the correct dll file now amd it is working. Thanks.
