Windows install doesn't work (missing intl.dll)

[ben@…]

"The application has failed to start because intl.dll was not found."

Brand new install of 0.2.1.

intl.dll should be shipped with GTK+. Maybe you have to adjust your %PATH% variable (although the installer should do this...) to contain the gtk/bin/ directory. Is there such a intl.dll?

OK, I had neglected to instal gtkmm, but now that is installed, and gobby reinstalled, I still have the same problem. There is an intl.dll in the GTK\2.0\bin directory

Seems that Windows does not look into your GTK directory when searching for DLLs. There are two possibilites two fix this:

• Copy/Move the DLLs into the same directory where Gobby.exe resides - Windows always looks first in the same directory where the executable is.
• Tell Windows to look in GTK\2.0\bin when searching for a DLL. Normally, the GTK+ installer should do this. This should be the much cleaner way. Proceed like this (note that I am not sure whether I am using the correct English names for I am using a German Windows version)
  • Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Extended(???) -> Environment variables -> System variables -> Path -> Edit
  • Add a semicolon at the end of the dialog box which pops up (to separate the new entry from already existing ones) and add the complete Path to your GTK bin directory (e.g. C:\GTK\2.0\bin)
  • OK

This fixes the first problem. Now I get:

"The procedure entry point atk_relation_add_target could not be located in the dynamic link library libatk_1.0-0.dll"

There was a similar problem some weeks ago in the mailing list, have a look at http://draenor.its-toasted.org/pipermail/obby-users/2005-August/000029.html.

P.S.: I just realised that GTK+ 2.6.10 has been packaged by gladewin32. See http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ and give it a try.

The gladewin GTK+ package fixed all my problems. Gobby now works on Windows.
