 Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:21 am Post subject: location of gtk libs on windows |
 |
|
Someone raised the point that Duit (let's call it gtkD from now on)
I was saying, that gtkD lib loader has the location of the Gtk+ DLLs
hardcoded.
I can read the Gtk registry entry to find the actual location (done)
but is that suficient?
Is the solution to create a registry entry with that location during the install?
Ant
(can't compile the installation program on window,
see my post on link on the learn group) |

On windows:
Duit, i.e. gtkD, now will try to get the Gtk+ DLLs location from the registry.
this means applications will have to be linked with lib advapi32.

Apparently the environment variable is a pretty ok way too., but i guess advapi32 isn't any heartbreak.

which one?
CommonProgramFiles? probably not because I seem to remember the problem was someone installed Gtk+ on the root.
Or should the installation ask for the location and create an environment var?

GTK_BASEPATH is set when GTK is installed.
| Code: | this.libraryName = libraryName;
this.alternateLibraryName = alternateLibraryName;
onLoadFailure = fn;
version(Windows)
{
char[] expandedLibraryName;
uint charLen;
charLen = ExpandEnvironmentStringsA((this.libraryName ~ "\0").ptr, null, 0);
expandedLibraryName = new char[charLen];
ExpandEnvironmentStringsA((this.libraryName ~ "\0").ptr, expandedLibraryName.ptr, charLen);
handle = LoadLibraryA(expandedLibraryName.ptr);
//handle = LoadLibraryA( (this.libraryName ~ "\0").ptr );
if ( alternateLibraryName !is null )
{
charLen = ExpandEnvironmentStringsA((this.alternateLibraryName ~ "\0").ptr, null, 0);
expandedLibraryName = new char[charLen];
ExpandEnvironmentStringsA((this.alternateLibraryName ~ "\0").ptr, expandedLibraryName.ptr, charLen);
alternateHandle = LoadLibraryA(expandedLibraryName.ptr);
//alternateHandle = LoadLibraryA( (this.alternateLibraryName ~ "\0").ptr );
}
} |
That is my code in Loader.d to handle environment vars.
| Code: |
// Specify the default path for the DUI dll's
//version(Windows) const char[] libPath = "\\Program Files\\Common Files\\GTK\\2.0\\bin\\";
version(Windows) const char[] libPath = "%GTK_BASEPATH%\\bin\\"; |
That is my change in Loader.d
This was some versions back, when i asked  .
Cheers  , good work with gtkd

| Just for future reference, there are several installers for GTK+ on Windows. I for one am using a custom made library set that I include with my program. Eventually, I'll just create a standalone installer for it. |
