Error while compiling

[Giovanni]

Hi,

I am using Win7 64bits so it should not be about 32 vs 64 bits, it must be something intrinsic in Win8.

Hi Guys,

I have been trying all night to get ChibioStudio Preview 7 to complie demo projects on my windows 8.1 64bit before I found this thread.

Using the DLL that dhruvin91 linked and replacing the exsisting one that is in "c:\ChibiStudio\gnutools\bin" it now works fine.

For the record the msys-1.0.dll that came with ChibioStudio is has all the same details and version numbers as the replacement file but is 56kB bigger?

Thanks
Simon

I've been looking into this issue and I have found this page which explains the file that dhruvin91 linked.

Also there is a latter version of msys-1.0 on the mingw sourceforge page

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/f ... msys-core/

Its file version is 1000.11.0.0 when the msys-1.0.DLL supplied with preview 7 is 1000.8.0.0 I have tested the new file on my work computer (Win 7) and seems to work I'll will need to wait until I get home before i can test it on a Windows 8 system.

Thanks
Simon

Thanks for finding, I will include the new one in the next release.

Just confirming using the latest msys-1.0.DLL from the MiniGW link above works on my Windows 8.1 64Bit at home.
