DerelictGL Linker Error in Tango

clayasaurus · Joined: 21 May 2004 Posts: 857

Sorry to revive this thread, but I'm getting this same problem now on Windows with DMD 1.023, Tango Triller release, and derelictgl.

Confused

Not really sure what to do.

EDIT from Aldacron: I split this out into a new thread for clarity. The original thread is now linked above.

OK, Clay. I'll look into it when I get the chance. It may be a couple of days, though.

Forget that couple of days bit. It was a quick fix. No time to test, but it's in the trunk.

I'm having the same problem, in spite of using the latest revision (r278). My setup is the same as clayasaurus'. No error messages except

Yea, the change in the trunk did not fix the problem, for all I know it might have made the problem worse.

The problems probably come from some changes with the newer compilers and tango release, and not have much to do with derelict.

I've switched back to dmd 1.015 and Tango Keep release, and recompiled all my software, and I was able to fix the problem.

Confused

The reason I haven't replied is because I haven't had the time.

I realized belatedly that my 'fix' wasn't really a fix at all. I'll have to revert it. I'll also try and make the time to figure out what's going on, but, like Clay, I'm pretty certain this has nothing to do with Derelict. Until I dig into it I can only guess, but it would seem the problem (being that it's a missing symbol) must be with the gdi32 library that ships with DMD. If it that were the case, the same error should show up with Phobos as well.

You should be able to search the gdi32.lib for the relevant symbols. If you have further problems when using Tango with this, please create a ticket so we can track it too, even if it may be an issue DM is responsible for.

OK, I can confirm the most recent problem is a Tango issue. In the latest release, some changes were made in the lib directory. There is no gdi32.lib in tango/lib. There wasn't one in the previous release either, but the symbols were still getting picked up. When I tried to compile a simple DerelictGL app with the latest Tango in my setup (which is rather nonstandard), I got a boatload of missing symbol errors, whereas all works well with previous releases.

gdi32.lib wasn't part of the Win32 binary distribution of Tango. Now it is. Sorry about that.

Thanks, Sean.
