Julia on Windows can't find DLL

[Iain Dunning]

So I took a clean (compiled) copy of Julia from the website.

I downloaded SDL 1.2.15 (http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15-win32.zip) and placed SDL.dll in julia-bad26f4bc0/lib

I downloaded SDL_image 1.2.12 (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL_image-1.2.12-win32.zip) and put the DLL in the same folder.

We can test SDL with:

ccall((:SDL_Init, "SDL"), Int32, (Uint32,), 0x00000020 )

and that works fine.

We can test SDL_image with

ccall((:IMG_Load, "SDL_image.dll"), Ptr{Void}, (Ptr{Uint8},), "test.png")

but I get:

"error compiling anonymous: could not load module SDL_image.dll: The specified mo

dule could not be found."

This works on Linux.

I didn't want to create an issue in case this is a SDL problem, rather than a Julia one. But if people think it is, I'll submit it.

Does SDL_Image have any other dependencies?

There seems to be a bug in our dll loading code. I'll fix it tomorrow.

I haven't had a chance to test, but it may be as simple as leaving the ".dll" out of your library name.

Instead of SDL_image.dll try just SDL_image

Huh, that does seem to work - subtle! I thought I'd tried that too... late night coding error? :D

Would still be good to get a fix for that, or at least a warning.

Cheers,
