Please test (Blitz3D users)

Hi folks,

I've been converting JV-ODE from MinGW over to the MSVC8 compiler.

I need to make sure it works ok on machines that -don't- have .NET installed on them. I'm also interested to hear if it works ok on Win98/WinMe machines.

[Removed]

Place the 'JV-ODE.decls' file into the userlibs folder of your Blitz3D installation.

Run any of the included demos.

Please post your results and specs below.

Thanks in advance :)

Mmm, I wonder if a lot of people have already got .NET installed.

I know I do, and anyone that bought protean will have.

userlib not found error

Same as Panno. I put the decls and a copy of the dll into userlibs folder. Win98SE without .NET here.

Hmm, 'Userlib not found error' on WinXP?... that's odd.

Can you try this one too Panno... [Removed]

@big10p: Do you know if you've got 'Msvcr71.dll' anywhere in your system directories? You shouldn't need to put the dll in the userlibs folder btw. Can you try it with the dll in the demos folder and see if you still get the error. If it still fails can you try the one above and see if that works.

Thanks both :)

Yep, I have Msvcr71.dll (whatever that does :) in the windows/system directory.

I tried that originally and then put a copy in the userlibs dir as a last resort. :)

I'll try the new version now...

[edit]
Success! The new version works great. :)

Nice demos, BTW. I haven't played with any physics libs yet but seeing these has got me interested. ;)

Hehe, not quite that's the old one (MinGW). I was just making sure that worked for you before I started looking into it further.

Damn, I wonder why it's throwing that error. It must be some runtime dll that's missing?

One last test big10p, if you don't mind of course ;)

Could you try the first one again (162KB), but this time place a copy of your Msvcr71.dll in the same folder as the JV-ODE.dll and see if that works.

Thanks, much appreciated :)

I don't know if this was already mentioned, but the .NET framework is supposed to be installed automagically with Service Pack 2, or so I heard anyway.
Don't know if its a recent version, but I do think that Windows Update keeps it up to date..

all demos are working
with 222kb demo

Ah crap, I've found the problem using Dependency Walker (wicked tool, you should try it!)...

The new DLL needs 'Msvcp80.dll' and 'Msvcr80.dll' during runtime.

@AshMantle: Thanks for the info, I didn't notice it when I installed SP2.

@Panno: Thanks :)

Oh. :P

Still not working, I'm afraid. My version of msvcr71.dll is 7.10.3052.4, if that's any help.

Thanks very much for the help big10p :)

[edit] Nope, that won't work either.

Runs fine on my machine (I only tested a few demos) - Win98SE, AMD K-6 500MHZ, Geforce 2 MX 32 MB, 256 MB System RAM.
