Problem with missing library of WIN 1.4.4 binary

Post by Haibane »

Hi, not quite sure where to post this, but as 1.4.4 topic in the Releases is not back yet, I will do it here and pls move me eventually.

Just a notice, would be nice to replace download of Wesnoth 1.4.4 binary with 1.4.3 binary or with working version (some patch would make it too I guess), because 1.4.4 is missing MSVCR71.dll library. At least for me at XP sp3, hope it's not just my problem. Didn't find it (or similar) in 1.4.3 either. This dll can be downloaded (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... ml?msvcr71 fe.), but I must admit I don't want to download (well, mostly don't want to use it) some unknown library from somewhere.

Yogi, please ? :)

Yogi? You'd wish :P He's not doing windows releases since 1.4.1

Anyway, this library is shipped with 1.5.2 so you can just copy it over, it's my mistake, I used different version of python for 1.4.4 and forgot it requires higher version of C runtime library. If you want absolutely official source msvcr71 is a part of Microsoft Visual Studio which is shipped free of charge in Express version.

Ok, sorry, missed this. Well, mb just forgot it ... win binary and Yogi ... win binary and Yogi ... no, win binary and Mist ... what ? ^-^

Ok, I will get it somewhat, hope it's only one missing. But still might be nice to give some working version for download eventually (I mean without dll hunting) or at least some warning and hint somewhere at homepage, especially for beginners and PC amateurs.
Well, just if you would like to be really nice, which I don't suppose :)

Edit: Seems it's quite old and common library, after I found that I just copied it from another place in my computer. Works fine so far. Download above seems fine as well, at least size is same. Ok, not such a big deal to fix it, pardon my laziness and thanks for the help :P
