Fails to run on Windows

[darkf]

After compiling with rustc sdl.rc --test, attempting to run sdl.exe results in the following:

 The procedure entry point _ZN2u814__extensions__9meth_61622eq16_b1aee21ec7f5ee53_05E could not be located in the dynamic link library sdl.exe

(or sdl-34b7eedb9132850-0.2.dll without --test, and with another test program.)

I'll see what I can do about getting Rust on my Windows partition over the next week or so, and reproducing/fixing this.

Hello, want this stuff on win32 too.

Also that will be nice to have some make or bat file to build it from windows.

[AngryLawyer]

I'll try and schedule some time in the week. Building Rust itself on Windows is a bit of a mission on its own :P

[cnd]

Agreed. I want to find way to get it build on windows myself.

I'm going through the harblness of setting up Rust Incoming on my Windows Partition that I've had to blow the dust off, and I'm writing it up into a blogpost so other people won't have to fumble around blind like I am to set it up - I'll let you know when it's done. If I manage to get through it alive.

[cnd]

That could be cool, thank yuo even for trying.

[AngryLawyer]

Well, I've got Rust building, now to figure out how to build Rust-SDL!

[AngryLawyer]

Well, I've managed to get to the point of reproducing the error. Quite how to fix it, I'm not sure.

I'll hover around the Rust IRC rooms over the next week or so and see if anyone there can help.

[AngryLawyer]

Looks like the issue is in Rust:

rust-lang/rust#3660

So we'll soon be able to compile on Windows yay!

[Seldaek]

The issue in rust is still open it seems :/ I just built rust and then spotted this issue so I guess this is a no-go for now.

Any word on this issue yet?
