915 :: iup Gui tutorial compiles fine, but doesn't run. Help!

  Hi, I came across a simple iup gui tutorial in this forum(See below!). It compiles just fine but when I run it through Aporia, it says: "could not load: iup(30|27|26|25|24).dll".

  So, what I did is, i went to get the iup.dll from sourceforge to put it in the same folder as my .exe program, but that still didn't fix the runtime error. I tried all the different versions of iup.dll they have there, but still no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  import iup

  proc click(ih:PIhandle):cint {.cdecl.}=

  return IUP_DEFAULT

  proc button_cb(ih:PIhandle,button,pressed,x,y:cint,status:cstring):cint {.cdecl.}=

  setAttribute(ih,"TITLE","button_cb")

  return IUP_DEFAULT

  discard iup.open(nil,nil)

  var btn=iup.button("Hello!",nil)

  discard setCallback(btn,"ACTION",click)

  #THIS IS THE PROBLEM LINE THAT DONT COMPILE

  #BECAUSE BUTTON_CB HAS THE WRONG PROTO:

  discard setCallback(btn,"BUTTON_CB",castICallback)

  setAttribute(btn,"RASTERSIZE","200x200")

  var d=iup.dialog(btn)

  discard d.show()

  discard mainloop()

  seem Nim try to load a specific release iup(30|27|26|25|24).dll and you have iup.dll

  try to rename iup.dll to iup30.dll ?

  Hello,

  changing the source to (|30|27|26|25|24) should also work, if the DLL is iup.dll

  Update:! Yes, I'm confirming that renaming it to iup30.dll fixed the problem. But @nodrygo, don't you think we should have a minimalist iup tutorial of a form containing a button and a label, and have that label display something when the button is clicked? Disclaimer! I am a newbie in ui programming, so i'm in great need of iup tutorials Please! .

  @fakoli

  I am not the author nor the maintainer for the tutorial so can't help here

  but I have wrote, only for my own learn of Nim and nothing else, my own IUP little binding with very a limited demo. Don't know if it work on windows (I am on Linux/64).

  @enurlyx

  You are right the demo code should be update with (|30|27|26|25|24)
