[cssed-devel] CSSed for Windows

I've been using CSSed for a while and love it in Kubuntu. However, I
know a few people that most likely would love to use it in Windows. I
found the installer and installed CSSed and the GTK stuff without issues
on a windows7 machine. When I tried to run it it came back with an error
"libxml2.dll" not found. I've looked at several pages on how to fix this
but so far none have worked.

Any suggestions appreciated. I would like to tell people about CSSed but
I need to know how to tell them to make it work in VERY simple language.
Many of those that would benefit are not technical.

Hello Billie,

Sorry for my late response.

The problems you are finding are because the most used gtk+ library at the
time cssed was release included libxml2, but later on the libxml2 library
was not included anymore.

The other problem is cssed have not been updated in years and this is
entirely my fault, but as you are still using I will do everything I can to
help you to sort those problems.

The problem with those libraries on windows is you need to match the
compiler used for the executable and the libraries. If you compiled the main
executable with gcc and the libraries with visual c++ - as example - things
may not load properly.

In your case I think the best bet will be to try to use the original libxml2
that was used when cssed was released. You must take the library file and
put it in the same directory the cssed.exe or cssed_win32.exe executable
have been installed.

I have put the file for you on my server, so you can test it out. If it
works, just pass the file around to your friends and use the same installer
you used.

You can download it here http://iagorubio.com/billie/libxml2.dll

If it doesn't work, just let me know, and I will try to make a new installer
with the library file included.

Hope this helps.


Iago Rubio.

That seems to have fixed the libxml2 issue but now it complains about
iconv.dll.

If it ain't one thing it's six others. *<]:oD

It's a great little program that deserves to live. I'm no part a
programmer or I would offer to help.

I have the full source code of every library used by cssed, so libraries are
not a problem.

Just keep asking and I will upload them for you
http://iagorubio.com/billie/iconv.dll

You can later just make a zip with the cssed's directory and pass that along
to your friends.

Sorry Billie, looks like my last message yesterday did not made it to de
list, even while it was sent.

I post a copy below.

-- Previous message ---

It's getting late here - it's 23:00 - so I have just uploaded a full set of
dlls for that cssed build.

Don't pick them all, just get them if it keeps complaining.

http://iagorubio.com/billie/

If you find something missing just post it here and I will check it out
tomorrow (CET GMT+1 time).
