TLDR at the bottom.
I've been running an application I've found on codeplex.com called PCSXR. However, I believe a Windows update has caused the program not to function properly or it's missing some Windows Visual Basic add-on since it was fine before I cleaned installed Windows 10 for fixing a problem that recovery couldn't fix.
I've tried version 1.9.92 executable but it has crash issues playing cinematics.
Version 1.9.93, which is most stable and I was using, no longer can read the DLL plugins in the folder. Making it unusable.
After browsing around. I found this post that this person solved the problem using Dev C++ to compile the source code. I've attempted to build it but I keep getting thrown errors. Wrong architecture which I've solved by setting it to 32 bit compile but other errors prevented it compiling.
After Googling how-to around and talking with some other programmers. I've been going back and forth with different tools on how to compile it. Code Blocks, Dev C++, MinGW and an old Git program on Windows to run Bash. I even ended up having missing config.h which is in the header and even winres.h missing.
I somehow managed to compile it through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Ubuntu, XFCE4 Desktop through VcXsrv to display XFCE4 through a window. PCSXR starts, has plugins but crashes when I run it. From what I've been told, the error due to WSL not supporting sound. So WSL failed.
I've tried Ubuntu "Try It" CD environment but fails to compile at all.
VirutalBox on latest version no longer works since they disabled it working on my machine since it doesn't have BIOS virtualization setting.
TLDR
I've been following their program documentation but it's not really detailed for Windows users.
So my question is: How do I build, in detailed steps, PCSXR either from updated source code here or 1.9.93 source here into a working Windows executable with its DLL plugins working? What programs I need, what do I type in what, what settings, where I find missing files etc.
I know this isn't probably the best question here but I've been at this for 2 whole days, Googling and asking.
I'm using Windows 10, AMD CPU, 64 bit with no BIOS virtualization support.
I managed to do it by following these steps on this forum post:
You need Dev C++ 5.11.
1).Go to File>Open>Directory of Pcsxr>win32>pcsxr.dev
2).Under Project select pcsxr. Right click and select project options.
3.In Project Options select compiler. Set Base compiler to "TDM-GCC 4.9.2 32bit Release" then click ok.
4).In the main menu of Dev C++ 5.11 look for Execute. Select Compile.
5).Wait for it to compile. If you were successful there should a
pcsxr.exe in pcsxr source directory>win32.
After following the steps and trying out all the most recent versions of the source codes available. This is my research results I posted after.
Thanks for the reply. It really helped a lot.
I've tried the 1.9.93 beta source code "pcsxr-1.9.93.tar.bz2"
(extracted with 7zip) and got a compile error about "#include
" not found.
I've tried the 1.9.94 alpha source code "pcsxr-1.9.94.zip" and it
compiled successfully. I got a "pcsxr\libpcsxcore\gte_divider.h"
missing error when loading the dev file in win32 folder but it seems
to work okay.
I've tried the up-to-date source code (last modification Feb 18, 2017)
and it compiled successfully. I got a
"pcsxr\libpcsxcore\gte_divider.h" missing error when loading the dev
file in win32 folder but it seems to work also. The background logo
that covers the main window seems to be blank grey until I start a
game.
I solved the winres.h issue by getting this missing Windows h Sample
file from github here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/Window...les/Win7Samples/winui/tsf/tsfcompart/winres.h
and just added it to the root of the project folder. I had to replace
'#include ' with '#include "winres.h"'.
I don't know about the built-in plugins source code. Some don't have a
dev file and they always throw errors when compiling. I've managed to
add working third party ones from emulator zone and the ones from
1.9.93 beta release "pcsxr-1.9.93-win32.zip" and managed to get 1.9.93 working great.

I am working on a project that uses Adobe's DNG SDK 1.6 library, and it is supposed to work on Windows and MacOS.
The library has instructions on how to build it for both platforms, but I had to figure out an error that came up on Windows with Visual Studio. I am not very experienced with big C++ projects so it was not trivial but I got it working. Most of my own code will be done in C# .Net Core, calling the native libraries using a wrapper class with P/Invoke.
Now for Mac that's a different story, I have a MacOS 11 VM, installed Xcode 12.5.1 and followed the steps provided, as expected, it does not work. Bare in mind this is my first time touching Xcode and MacOS.
The project I am trying to build is dng_validate, and it depends on two libraries built by these projects: XMPFiles64 and XMPCore64.
The library projects build without any hiccups, each one of them creating a ".a" file in the folder: dng_sdk_1_6/xmp/toolkit/public/libraries/macintosh/intel_64_libcpp/Debug, they are named libXMPFilesStaticDebug.a and libXMPCoreStaticDebug.a respectively.
When I try to build the dng_validate project, I get the following error:
Library not found for -lXMPFilesStaticDebug
Because of the the error starting with an "l" instead of "lib", under both libraries project settings, I changed the "Executable Prefix" setting to "l" instead of "lib". Rebuilt both of them and made sure the file names changed as expected. But the error persists when trying to build the main project.
Under dng_validate's project settings, there is a setting called "Library Search Paths" and it does point to the proper aforementioned folder using a relative path. I even changed it to an absolute path to see if that would make it work.
I am really lost here, does anyone have an idea of what might be causing it?
Well... After asking on other forums and almost hiring a freelancer to fix this for me, I tried another shot in the dark of renaming the library files and it worked.
I changed the extensions of libXMPFilesStaticDebug.a and libXMPCoreStaticDebug.a from ".a" to ".dylib" and it just compiled and blew my mind with it.
Yesterday I installed Qt Creator and the Qt Library 5.0.1. When I created a new project and wanted to see how it looks, so I build and run the program and I got the following error:
Starting C:\Users\Khaled\workspace_qt\Test-build-Desktop_Qt_5_0_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug\Test.exe...
The program has unexpectedly finished.
C:\Users\Khaled\workspace_qt\Test-build-Desktop_Qt_5_0_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug\Test.exe exited with code -1073741511
I got the same error when I tried to build and run the address book application from the example section.
I looked for other questions here, and I read one that said to check g++ version and to change toolchain from the Build & Run section in the setting, but there is nothing that says toolchain. I also read one where it said to try to chnage between debug and release mode, both didn't work. I also just read a post about using Event Viewer to see the lacking dlls but I couldn't find anything.
Why am I getting this error message and how can I fix it?
Thanks
If you run your application by clicking on it or using cmd (basically not through Qt), you will get a Windows system error informing you of the problem. If you're missing DLL's (which you seem to be), you'll be told which ones, although it will only tell you one at a time.
Hey guys so I have combed the internet trying to find a solution to my problems I had decided I want to learn to opencv and am having a hell of a time to get a basic hello world program working.
So I'll start of with I downloaded the OpenCV2.1 from sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.1/
I am currently running Visual studio 2010 on Windows 7, 32 bit.
So I installed ran the OpenCV2.1.exe file and added OpenCV to my path enviroment, I then build the libraries using cmake and ran through the following instructions
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B_VS2010_CMake
When i build the code in the tutorial abovei get a sucesfull build but when I try and start the program i get the "The application was unable to start correctly 0xc150002" error. Anyone have any thought ?
EDIT:
I looked at the event log and this is the information i get
Activation context generation failed for "C:\OpenCV2.1\bin\cxcore210d.dll". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8"
C:\OpenCV2.1\bin\cxcore210d.dll
Had the same problem. Indeed I did rebuild the Dlls, but in the PATH environment variable of Windows the old DLLs C:\OpenCV2.1\bin; were before the new built DLLs C:\OpenCV2.1\build\bin\Debug; which meant that always the old were loaded ... Now it works
I set up the environment according to this tutorial:
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B_VS2010
However the picture they want you to use is no longer there, so I just saved the supplied screen shot with the same name as the original file.
Builds fine, Begins to run but then I get a runtime error
Here is the runtime error:
OpenCV_HelloWorld.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application.
I looked in Event Viewer and found that it also set off a another error but did not announce
Here is the unannounced error:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\OpenCV2.1\bin\cxcore210d.dll". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
As you can see it says to use sxstrace.exe however I don't appear to have that program. After a quick Google I read that the program was included in the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK, so I'm downloading the most relevant version (windows 7 version for c# and .net) and installing that to follow up on that, I'll post what I find as it comes.
Any help is very much appreciated
Unexpectedly the project builds and runs now. The only modifications made were removing spaces in the c++ directory and linker options from the tutorial. External changes were the completed installation of the windows platform SDK, however OpenCV has no dependencies with windows platform sdk. I am unsure how it was resolved, but it's no longer a problem.
I've written a Open Source program that I've released as GPL built using the Qt4 LGPL SDK. This program has the ability to search an optional Sqlite3 database for data.
Here is what is making me lose my mind. I compile the program on the development machine. When I try to run it, I can errors about missing DLLs. I copy those dlls into the same directory as the executable and it now works fine ( mingwm10.dll, libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, QtCore4.dll, QtSql4.dll, QtGui4.dll ), including the database search.
Now, if I copy that folder with the executable and the DLLs to a new machine that has not had the SDK installed on it, it runs fine until I try to search. As soon as I hit the search button, I can the following error:
Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I then download and install the SDK, doing nothing else, I can now run the program and search the sqlite3 file just fine!
What magic am I missing?
P.S. Both machines are freshly installed Windows XP systems.
You may have some libs or Qt plugins that are not deployed to the target machine. It most likely is the SQL driver plugin. Here's some info about it: http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/deployment-windows.html#qt-plugins
You'll need to copy the needed Qt plugins to a directory next to your executable. And add something like this in your main():
QApplication::addLibraryPath(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/plugins");
(Edited link and added code)
I found the problem.
Stephen Chu was correct in that I was missing the sqlite driver. However, I can into more complications along the way.
The SDK comes with two sets of dlls. One set resides in $BASEDIR/bin and the other in $BASEDIR/qt/bin. The former contains the dlls used by Qt Creator, while the latter are the dlls that you want to ship with your executable.
I needed to take the sqlite plugin ( qsqlite4.dll ) and copy it to APP_DIR/sqlplugins. My problem was I was using the wrong qsqlite4.dll file.
A big thanks to everyone who contributed to this question.
