[SOLVED] Execution impossible on w10 with a cross compiled libpng16-16.dll

Issue

I have a problem, I build and link a windows application on linux for windows using mxe (x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared), the build an linking is working well. Then I copy paste all usefull dll (that are all cross-compiled, except x64-msvcrt-ruby230.dll, which I get from the official windows installer).

I tested my program with wine, no problem it works like a charme and I spot no difference with the linux version. But once I put everything in my test VM (windows10 64bit inside virtualbox) I receive the error message:

The procedure entry point inflateValidate could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\libpng16-16.dll.

libpng16-16.dll is there, and when I objectdump it (in linux):

objdump -x libpng16-16.dll | grep inflate

So apparently the symbol __imp_inflateValidate is present, so is there something I'm missing ? And does anybody know how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance

Solution

Just stumbled on the same problem. It turned out to be a confilicting dll file in the PATH environment varialble. try the ldd command to find out which dll files might be suspicious.

for instance, in my case, the culprit is the zlib1.dll from the Intel wireless software.

    E:\samples\sfmlSound>ldd sfmlSound.exe
            ntdll.dll => /c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffee3e70000)
            KERNEL32.DLL => /c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffee3030000)
            ...
            zlib1.dll => /c/Program Files/Intel/WiFi/bin/zlib1.dll (0x7ffed0f10000)
            ...

after resolved the conflicts, the program would load correctly.
