Re: [openvrml-develop] viewer initialization error

[Kris B. <1...@kr...>]

I am using the trunk.  Before I got to this point I ran the executable
a few times, and each time it would complain about not finding a
specific DLL and I would put that DLL in the same directory as the
executable.  Now that directory looks like this:

\openvrml\ide-projects\Windows\VisualC9_0\bin

libpng13d.dll
openvrmld.dll
opnvrmld.ilk
openvrmld.pdb
openvrml-gld.dll
openvrml-gld.ilk
openvrml-gld.pdb
SDL.dll
sdl-viewerd.exe
sdl-viewerd.ilk
zlib1d.dll


Thanks,

Kris
