User issue about python-tcod HOT 6 CLOSED

This error usually means something happened to prevent tdl from finding its bundled SDL.dll library. There should be a subfolder in ...\venv\lib\site-packages\tcod with SDL in it. If the virtual environment ended up putting that file somewhere else then it won't be found by tdl.

One option could be to manually place the latest version of SDL.dll in the working directory, but this will only fix it for the one program.

I might need more information. Where is SDL.dll currently located? Does the above suggestion work?

from python-tcod.

The SDL2.dll is in the folder : C:\Users\GigSim\Documents\Python\RLFood\venv\Lib\site-packages\tcod\x86
I copy it to the folder C:\Users\GigSim\Documents\Python\RLFood\venv\Lib\site-packages\tcod
Still the same issue.

This type of run-time error is always hard to debug. The next thing I'd check would be the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, make sure those are installed:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

If that doesn't fix it then I'm out of ideas and I'll need more info: Did you use the same method of installing tdl on the other Windows computer you tested?

I got Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables : 2012, 2013.
I will try to install the recet one.
I will check what I got on my other machine, tonight

from python-tcod.

I use pycharm, projet interpreter to install it. I try with pip.
I did installer 2013 and 2017 MS Visual C++ Redistribuatable and still got the same issue.
But that ok. I'm sure it is on my side, This issue can be close.
Thank for all the help I will continue to dig on it. If I find anything I will left you know.

If you plan on debugging it yourself then you could try loading tcod/_libtcod.pyd with Dependency Walker.
