Hi
I've spent a great deal of time using the GIMP over the years and because I like it so much, I've recently spent a lot of time creating my own distro. Of course, it's not really *my* distro per-se. It belongs to the entire community, is released under the GPL and all sources are available for anyone who cares to modify it.
Anyway, I've created an installer for it and it works great. The installer copies the necessary .dll's (it's a Win32 port) to the correct folder where GTK+ is located and all of the GIMP files where they need to be, etc. My problem at the moment is that once I install the GIMP, go through the config screen and then run it, I get a DOS screen that says...
<gimp.exe:2512>: Gimp-WARNING **: C:\Program Files\GIMP\lib\gimp\1.2\modules\freetype-6.dll: module_init<> symbol not found
I'm getting this error in the DOS screen for 4 different dll files. The GIMP runs great but I would like it to run without errors obviously. I have to admit that I'm not to savvy when it comes to the Windows registry, INI stuff, etc and I KNOW these errors have something to do with my not registering these dll's properly in my installer (right?).
Anyway, would someone here mind telling me what I need to do here please?. My installer has a section for writing to the Windows registry and one for the INI. The section for the INI has two options (Win_dir and Install_dir) and then form feilds for: "filename", "section", "key" and "value".
The registry setup in my installer has "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and "HKEY_USERS" and then you type in the name of a "subkey" and a "value" and choose between a "string", "Dword" or "binary".
My question is this: what goes in these various form feilds and what choices do I need to make?. I've used this installer quite a bit over the years but hav'nt ever used these particular sections. Even a clue or a hint to steer me in the right direction would be very helpful as I am completely lost here.
Thank's in advance!
