1321 :: nim-csfml missing dll

• kirkkaf13 (orginal) [2015-06-14T01:13:06+02:00] view original

  Hello,

  I have just installed nim-csfml using nimble and compiled the simple example:

  import csfml
  
  var window = newWindow(videoMode(800, 600), "SFML works!")
  
  while window.open:
    var event: Event
    
    while window.pollEvent event:
      if event.kind == EventType.Closed:
        window.close()
      window.display()
  Run

  It compiled without any issue, I then placed the CSFML .dll's within the project folder and attempted to run the application, to receive the follow message;

  This application has failed to start because libstdc++-6.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

  I believe the issue might have something to do with how I compiled the program but I am not 100% sure. I am running Windows and used;

  nim c -d:release [filename]

  Can anyone help me here?

  Something links to libstdc++-6.dll which is part of gcc (using mingw on windows?). I would guess you are using mingw as compiler and you have it installed. You can find that dll somewhere deep in mingw folders, copying it to folder of your application should help.

  Hello rku,

  I am using mingw compiler and ran a search within the directory and it did not return and results for libstdc++-6.dll. I then thought I would download the missing file and add it to the directory of my application.

  I now get the follow error;

  The prodcedure entry point _ZSt24 throw_out_of_range_fmtPkcz could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll.

  I have just tried moving the libstdc++-6.dll to my mingw bin directory and recompiling the application, it appears to link the .dll but again the same error. Would I need to build the .dll on my machine, if so can someone assist me with this?
