lord_casek Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Major Windows Gaim Bugs and Workarounds * DLL Hell and Win Gaim - A very common but very unpleasant Windows SNAFU (known as DLL Hell) has been experienced by many Win Gaim users. Symptom: Win Gaim crashes routinely on startup (but not neccessarily just on startup). Cause: Dlls with the same name as those that Gaim uses are found in the dll search path and are used instead of those installed by Gaim, likely causing Gaim to malfunction. This can happen when application developers install their dlls to Windows system directories. The most commonly used dll to cause dll hell is zlib.dll. Solution: As of 0.72, depending on the windows version Gaim will either change working directory before loading gaim.dll, or will use SetDllDirectory. Why did we move to using the GTK installer? More and more GTK apps are being ported to Windows, and rather than having each app install its own copies of the GTK dlls, it is better that GTK is installed in a common location to avoid having many duplicates of the same dll. There is more in-depth info about DLL Hell in this article. Bug report #715975 is one instance of the problem just described. There are more.. * TCL Loader Plugin + Cygwin = WinGaim crash - Starting with 0.75, Win Gaim comes with a tcl plugin loader. The loader plugin is dependant on tcl84.dll and will use the first one found in the dll search path. If you have a cygwin installation (with tcl 8.4), and have added its bin directory to your PATH, then WinGaim will crash on startup. The solution is to remove cygwin's bin directory from your path. Introducing cygwin dlls into the native win32 environment is a very bad idea, and is likely to cause problems with other programs. * GTK+ 2.8.x Unable to connect - Versions of WinGaim prior to 2.0.0beta4 do not work with GTK+ 2.8.0 or newer. The symptoms are an inability to connect and/or frequent disconnections. The issue is specifically in Glib 2.8.x. For those interested in the technical details, the GIOChannel implementation has been rewritten and appears to have some quirks - see the following bugzilla entry. To avoid this problem, use WinGaim 2.0.0beta4 or newer, or stick with GTK+ 2.6.10. * GTK+ 2.6.9 causes GIMP crashes - The updated GTK-Wimp theme that was distributed with the Gaim GTK+ 2.6.9 installer (also included in the WinGaim 1.5.0 installer) triggers a bug in GTK+ that causes GIMP to crash. You should update to GTK+ 2.6.10 to resolve this. See the following bugzilla entry for more information. * Major GTK+ Bugs (that do not need reporting) o The text entry cursor is somethimes missing. o Double-clicking the docklet when the buddy list is obscured (i.e. behind another window) will minimize it to the tray rather than bringing it to the front. (bugzilla entry) or you could use portable gaim like i do...heh. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/gaim_portable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
