pthreadGC2.dll is missing


Posted on Nov 22, 2011 by Happy Dog

After I create and run a simple test app I get the following error:

"The program can't start because pthreadGC2.dll is missing from your computer..."

Just an update on this.

I got a hold of this DLL and put it in my Windows system folder which fixed the issues. I had the same issue on a different machine. Perhaps it needs to be packaged in the ANE?

Which version of Windows are you running? I've tried it on all of my machines that I had access to, but they all seemed to have it. In theory, it should be included because it is one of the standard POSIX runtimes.

The DLL was missing on 2 machines both Windows 7 64-bit. I'll try it on a couple of machines at work too.

I will add the .DLL into the next update I plan on pushing out today. It might be 64-bit Windows that the runtime isn't included with.

pthreadGC2.dll is now included in the ANE, and should be copied to the proper install location when you are using it.

I don't know about how it will function during debug, but it should be good for final install.

Uploaded new 0.9.6 update to close this issue.

Note that this pesky file, on an XP machine must be placed in the Windows\system32 folder.
