Yeah. I had successfully compiled an earlier build of 0.67 (might've been 0.67-RC2) into similar directories, and it had all the same dependencies, except for the change where the full microsoft visual C++ 2008 redistribution package is now needed, instead of the just the libraries in Microsoft.VC90.CRT. I have the full redistribution package now, and it is being used during the building process.
The windows/build_win32.py script runs successfully and without error all the way through to the creation of the zim standalone and portable executables, but zim won't run from them. The non-debug executables don't seem to do anything at all when I try to use them, even with any command line options (like zim --help). I am only about to get that debug output using the zim debug executables. My strange directory naming scheme is almost never an issue with anything related to software development (tools, libraries, IDEs), that is except for microsoft development programs like Visual Studio and microsoft SQL server. The irony of this is not lost on me. So basically, I did not include any other error messages because there aren't any. I can't figure out what DLL file it might be trying to load during runtime but not while building it. ~Kevin On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 5:01 PM, Brendan Kidwell <bren...@glump.net> wrote: > Did you install all of the requirements listed in the Windows build readme? > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim- > desktop-wiki/master/windows/README-BUILD-win32.txt > > Silly question: do you think the folder name "MyCode.Source\Source.Upload" > might have anything to do with it?
