Issues with SIGViewer on VirtualBox and libeay32.dll

[caleb....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've installed the SIGServer in an Ubuntu machine as explained in http://www.sigverse.org/wiki/en/index.php?Tutorial%2FInstallation%20of%20SIGVerse%20server and I'm able to run sigserver.sh without issues.

My main problem is with SIGViewer. I've installed SIGViewer in a VirtualBox with Windows 7 64-bit. However, I've come across several issues when attempting to run it:

1.- libeay32.dll is not included in the installation. Without it, SIGViewer throws the error "The program can't start because LIBEAY32.dll is missing from your computer".

2.- When a copy of libeay32.dll is obtained from somewhere else and copied to "SIGViewer\bin", the following occurs:

  a) if it is 64 bits, SIGViewer throws the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)"

  b) if it is 32 bits, SIGViewer opens a window with a black background, and right after throws the error "SIGViewer has stopped working"

For those interested, I obtained a safe copy of 32-bit libeay32.dll from https://github.com/yhagiwara/ObjectRecognition/blob/master/SIGViewerWithLightingCondition/Release/libeay32.dll

During all of these tests, I've made sure to be running the SIGServer in the Ubuntu machine by running sigserver.sh

I have tried the following in the Win7 VirtualBox (as recommended in http://www.sigverse.org/wiki/en/index.php?Troubleshooting) with no success:

- Installed Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable Package from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26

- Changed "-Xmx500M" to "-Xmx300M" in SIGViewer\bin\X3DParser.cfg  (which is stated wrong in the Troubleshooting tutorial as "SIGViewer\release\X3DParser.cfg" by the way)

- Ran SIGViewer with Administrator privileges

Any ideas of what is going on?

Cheers,

Caleb
