Well, yeh, my code and Matt's, but I'll try to push the fix in. The WinXX one is OK, the *nix one I can push a change for, but I don't have access to a big-endian 64-bit system to actually verify it on...! > > My "better idea" is to hope that the code finds the UuidCreate() > > function at runtime and does not even fall-back into this > code at all! > > Agreed ;-) > > Note: we could *maybe* remove the fall-back, because we're only > targeting W2K+ for FLTK 1.3 anyway, because of Unicode etc... > From MS docs about UuidCreate(): "Client: Requires Windows Vista, > Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, > Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95." > > Thus, it ought to work even with W95. IIRC, the reason we load the Rpcrt4.dll dynamically at runtime rather than linking to it at compile time was that there were a lot of (or some, anyway) systems that don't seem to have it... I guess it is maybe not part of the stock desktop install, but gets added by *something* later. I have seen that on an lot of MS systems, so may be the case here. What percentage of systems do/do-not have the required DLL I can't begin to guess. And, since the DLL is numbered... Rpcrt4.dll ... I don't know if it is wise for us to load that DLL by name if the version/name may change... Who knows how MS deal with these sort of things?
