I decided to ask my question in this thread, since it is related.
I'm having trouble getting make_rt to work with a custom DLL/DLM -
specifically Ronn Kling's KRSgrAVI.dll and dlm.
I added the file to the manifest, and it does get copied, but when I
run the app on a 'new' machine (no IDL installation) I get an error:
% OBJ_NEW: Error loading sharable executable.
Symbol: IDL_Load, File=C:\nanotrack\idl70\bin
\bin.x86\KRSgrAVI.dll
This application has failed to start because the application
configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application
may fix this problem.
% Execution halted at: READ_AVI
% NANOTRACK_EVENT
% IDLRTMAIN
% $MAIN$
Thoughts:
1- is it possible that a rt license is required to load a custom dll?
That would be a bummer.
2- does the DLM_PATH need to be set somehow, maybe in the .ini file in
the app folder?
3- do I have to install IDL and copy the dll/dlm to the bin/bin.x86
folder? I can do that, but would rather the make_rt would work.
Thanks,
Vince
