[6822] zlib1.dll missing - libz-1.dll instead

[LAZA]

I downloaded from Tinos site the bzr6822 for Windows.

After installing it i cannot start the game, this error comes up:

"Das Programm kann nicht gestartet werden, da zlib1.dll auf dem Computer fehlt. [...]"

"The program cannot start cause of missing zlib1.dll on your machine."

After renaming the installed file
libz-1.dll
into
zlib1.dll
it starts.

.

Windows 7 SP1

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue.

I'm curious where 6822 comes from, since trunk is currently at 6820. I guess it might be related to bug 1249836 which is mostly affecting Windows, so maybe Tino built some builds based on that to get some more real-world testing. I guess he's the only one which can answer this though.

It was weeks on 6820, but since some days there is 6822 available:

Build 6822 contains the fix to allow the large address space and my changes to the cmake build files to no longer include signals : https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/remove_signals

I've updated my build environment to gcc 4.8.1 and rebuild most of the libraries. Perhaps i've included the wrong dlls in the installer or there is some mixup in the dependencies of prebuild libs and self-build ones.

I'll re-check and put up a new build tomorrow.

Ok, please test the latest build: http://widelands.8-schuss.de/Widelands-bzr6820-nomusic-win32.exe

Sorry for the late response:

First, i deleted all other versions on my machine to avoid possible side effects.
I tested 6821 (i hope, this is also okay) and got no problems.
- playing campaign
- saving, loading (also older save games) campaign

So for me the problem is solved.
Thanks again Tino for the fast provide of the dev builds.
