Hi Gtk List! I downloaded binaries and development files needed for compiling GTK applications targeting the win32 platform from gtk.org: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/win32/ I have tried building my program binaries using the mingw compiler available in the Debian stable (Etch) repository to no avail. Whenever I attempt to start the application on Windows, however, I get this cryptic and useless error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application." message. In case you aren't using Etch, her is my compiler version: $ i586-mingw32msvc-cc --version i586-mingw32msvc-cc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special) I have narrowed my problem down to a simple test case: /* test.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include <glib.h> #include <SDL.h> #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <windows.h> #include <sqlite3.h> int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow ) { puts("Symbol Party!"); printf("Address of printf %p\n", printf); printf("Address of puts %p\n", puts); printf("Address of sqlite3_close %p\n", sqlite3_close); printf("Address of SDL_Init %p\n", SDL_Init); printf("Address of g_free %p\n", g_free); return 0; } As you might have guessed from the look of it, I am using other libraries as well, and as I suspected some kind of linker issue (since a very basic program using only the standard C library worked just fine) I decided to write this test program that would simply require that certain symbols were available at runtime. Simply remove the sqlite3_close and SDL_Init lines to get to the simplest test case if you wish to try this yourself. Here is the command I used to build the test program: $ i586-mingw32msvc-cc -lSDLmain test.c -o test.exe -I/home/donny/mingw/sqlite3 -I/home/donny/mingw/SDL-1.2.13/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -mms-bitfields -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/gtk-2.0 -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/atk-1.0 -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/cairo -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/pango-1.0 -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/glib-2.0 -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/home/donny/mingw/GTK/include/libpng12 -Wall -L/home/donny/rioskiller -L/home/donny/mingw/sqlite3 -L/home/donny/mingw/SDL-1.2.13/lib -lSDL -lSDLmain -L/home/donny/mingw/GTK/lib -lgtk-win32-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lsqlite3 && wine test.exe The program runs fine under wine. Under Windows XP, however, I get the aforementioned "failed to initialize properly" message. If I remove the g_free line from test.c, then my program runs fine. Anyone have any guess as to why this is happening? -- http://www.socsurveys.org/ http://blogger.socsurveys.org/ http://del.icio.us/hdon http://hdon.soup.io/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
