Maybe not. The trouble is that others have been able to compile
and run the same code without error. Given that you are still
unable to, that puts your system configuration in the
spotlight. Your error with libpng points even more in that
direction. If that turns out to be the culprit, it wouldn't be
the first time someone has had run-time errors because of
something not quite right on their system.
Without a failure that others can reproduce, there's not much
for anyone to do other than make (hopefully educated) guesses.
I'm happy to keep doing so until it's either resolved or I run
out of ideas.
I appreciate that Mike, I would really like to get this sorted so
I can get on with learning D. I read up on the procedure for
building the latest libpng which I did. It gives same error
message as using the earlier version.
It seems to me that trying to use SDL_image rather than the
'built in' *.bmp handling might be compounding the problem
(unless libpng is called upon to render bmps as well?). I don't
know what to try next I'm afraid.
