hi, dear list !
i recently did a successful self-compiling of the latest PD sources with Msys2 on my Windows 7 system, following lucardas instructions (which is basically a shorthand of the INSTALL.txt file that comes along with the latest PD sources).
everything went well - i had no errors in the compilation process and received a working pd-0.49.0
i also tried external libraries, all of them were perfectly loading and working, save for (you guessed it by the subject): Gem
==================================================== C:\pd-0.49.0\extra\Gem\Gem.dll: couldn't load Gem: can't load library ====================================================
suspect #1: are you by-chance trying to load a 32bit version of Gem into a 64bit version of Pd? that won't work. both the host (Pd) and the external (Gem) must have the same "architecture".
both versions are 32bit alright
suspect #2: the usual mismatch between msvcr90.dll (missing from the Gem distribution) and the likes. the mailinglist archives should cover this.
thanks, IOhannes. that was the right hint !
actually it was "pthreadVC.dll" in the BIN folder that caused the error. the self-compiled PD had its accompanying file "pthreadVC.lib" dated from 2002, whereas the .dll was from 2018. i figure here's the mismatch.
so i exchanged the new "pthreadVC.dll" with the old one from the official .zip package and Gem loaded and worked fine !
best
