User forums > Nightly builds

The 08 September 2007 build (4446) is out.

<< < (2/4) > >>

orefa:
The help_plugin.dll stopped loading at build 4439 under Windows 2000 (and XP SP2 according to h8or). The problem still exists with this build.

Ceniza:
I just compiled the latest SVN revision on XP, and the help plugin loads and works. I also downloaded this nightly build, and it loads and works too.

Ceniza:
OK, let's try this the hard way.

Method 1: Get an hex editor (e.g. Free Hex Editor). Open codeblocks.exe with it, Edit->Go to (Ctrl + G), offset: x263d. You should see 00 00 00 00 e8 de ff 06 ... Change those four pairs of zeros to ff. It should look like this now: ff ff ff ff e8 de ff 06 ... Save the file. Now open it and paste the error (you may need to click Details >> to see them all).

Method 2: Just download this file, decompress it to replace your current codeblocks.exe, open it and paste the error.

orefa:
Ceniza, thanks for looking into this.

I had already stepped back to build 4429 which works fine on my side. I tried today's build again and it produced the same error under Windows 2000. I then temporarily renamed my current CodeBlock directory in order to create a new one, in case some forgotten file left behind was causing the problem. I extracted today's build, copied mingwm10.dll and wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll to it and tried again: same error, the help_plugin.dll failed to load.


Next, I borrowed my wife's laptop which runs Windows XP (SP2) Home Edition on an AMD Ahlon 64 Processor 3000+ under 512 MB of RAM. I installed today's nightly to it. The help plugin failed to load here as well. Here is the log file which shows the error in question:

Finally, I downloaded the replacement file from your last message. An error window opened with these details in the log:

10:45:52: Can not enumerate files in directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\codeblocks/share/codeblocks/lexers/' (error 3: the system cannot find the path specified.)
10:45:52: Resource files must have same version number!
10:45:53: Failed to load shared library 'C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks/share/codeblocks/plugins/help_plugin.dll' (error 127: the specified procedure could not be found.)


EDIT 1: My PC does not have a 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\codeblocks/share/codeblocks/lexers/' directory.

EDIT 2: I note the odd alternate use of forward and backward slashes in the names...

Ceniza:
So it's really a "missing symbols" error. It's a shame Windows does not report the missing symbol (specified procedure).

What's strange is that it works here, both my own build and this nightly.

Is anyone else having this problem with this nightly?
