Title: Running within C:B results in "Entry Point Not Found" error, but NOT outside C:B
Post by: quiznoserf on September 01, 2015, 12:03:39 am

I have had to re-install C:B recently due to an unrelated event.  After reinstall, I returned to a program that I had written and it compiles without errors or warnings, but when I attempt to run it, I get "The procedure entry point g_bytes_ref could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll"  Interestingly, I can run the compiled program outside of C:B.  (I am forced to install both C:B and MinGW in non-default locations.)  Is there an environment variable that I have overlooked, perhaps?

When you run a program from inside cb it modifies the path variable to include all library search path locations.
So if there is a libglib-2.0-0.dll in one of these locations that is incompatible you might have this problem.

Search your disk for libglib-2.0-0.dll and see if the correct version of this dll is used.

Thanks for your prompt reply, oBFusCATed.  So, for further clarification, exactly which path variable does cb modify and where does it look for 'all library search path locations.'  I think that if I understood this better, I could get to the bottom of this more quickly.  Thanks.

The variable is %PATH%, the location is project -> build options -> search directories -> linker.
It also uses the global compiler search directories. See Settings -> Compiler -> You compiler.

Okay.  Found it--had an older copy installed in my MinGW installation.
