Having trouble installing. Trying to use the prebuilt library downloads

[robor1]

Hi all,

I recently found this API online and have been having lots of issues trying to get it to run (on windows). I first tried downloading the prebuilt windows libraries from github, and every time I try to run the programs in the bin folder it tells me I'm missing 'psmoveapi.dll'. I'm sure this isn't the only dll I'm missing either (which I assumed would have been in this compiled version). I also tried to just compile the source for windows but that turned into a hot mess and I couldn't figure it out (Every time I thought I was. Should I just cut my losses for the windows version and try using the Linux version?

Many thanks!

I had the same issue. Would also like to know.

The DLLs are located in the lib/ folder. You have to put them somewhere
Windows will find them. You can either put them right next to the
executables in the bin/ folder or add the full path of the lib/ folder
to the PATH environment variable.

Hi Alexander thanks for the help! Yeah I had forgotten to add them to my path oops. Now the next step is to try understand how to use those SWIG bindings.

Many thanks
