Re: GNUStep Cairo causing issues on Windows 10

[Adam Fedor]

OK, It’s possible that some package has got corrupted.  I’ve verified that when I install the downloaded packages, they don’t work right, although I’m pretty sure my local packages work fine.  I’ll have to look more to figure out what is wrong.

Hey Adam,

Yes of course I did verify it exists. I guess I should have stated that in the initial message. This is why it is confusing me so much. The path is 100% in tact so that leads me to believe that something in the Cairo dll might be not quite all there. I've removed and reinstalled it a few times just to see if that would fix it but no luck. One odd thing I noticed is that after the installer is done for Cairo, the readme doesn't show up, even with the option selected. So maybe something fails before that can happen? Long shot but it's all I've got

Thanks,

Tyler

Well, the error message seems to imply that you haven’t installed the Cairo backend. Can you verify that that has been installed (http://www.gnustep.org/windows/installer.html)?  Specifically, look at the location given in the error message and make sure that directory exists (C:/GNUstep/GNUstep/System/Library/Bundles/libgnustep-cairo-025.bundle).

To whom it may concern,

 

I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my system and I wanted to set it up to have a GNUStep environment. I downloaded and installed all of the Windows installer packages in order (including all of the optional ones) and when I try to launch Project Center or GORM I get a runtime error. Curious as to what was causing the issue, I used the gdb distribution packaged with GNUStep and it was having issues with Cairo. Specifically,  “ProjectCenter[6028:9756] NSApplication.m:317  Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend.  Can't load object file from backend at path C:/GNUstep/GNUstep/System/Library/Bundles/libgnustep-cairo-025.bundle” is the only visible issue in gdb. I also noticed that the Cairo backend doesn’t seem to have taken effect because when I decided to change the defaults as stated in the installer, there wasn’t even an entry for GSBackend. I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 on an iMac 14,2 with an Intel i7 4771 and an NVidia Geforce 780M GPU (If any of that is necessary). Hope this issue can get fixed up quickly.

 

Sincerely,

Tyler McLean
