Error loading Lucide.dll: can't find module 'LIBC063' (SYS002)

[Rainer]

Version 1.3.0 to 1.3.3 Beta

The "new" plausibility / loading for DLL modules does not check the DIR / DLL via BEGINLIBPATH.

Lucide does not find the DLL s and display a Message "... (SYS002)"

Test Case:

the Modules LIBC063 are not in LIBPATH but in Beginlibpath

rem Lucide.cmd Version 1.0 2007-11-05 Rainer

rem Lucide-1-21.cmd 2009-02-28 Rainer

rem Lucide-1-30.cmd 2010-04-12 Rainer

rem mode co100,80 gives more space for test output to look at

rem mode co100,80

SET LIBPATHSTRICT=T

SET BEGINLIBPATH=S:\download\os2\gcc442;S:\download\os2\libc063;S:\download\os2\UClib;

s:

cd \download\os2\LUCIDE\V1-30

lucide.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7

cd \

rem pause

Kind Regards

Rainer

PS: the Lucide trac does not offer versions above 1.3

what timestamp and size does the libc063.dll have?

Additional Info:

Workaround: copy the modules from dir Libc063 to the Lucide dir

==> no message box at program start

The CMD for executing lucide is from an other of my installations.

The path names are not consistent :-)

The version of LIBC063 is the same on all my installations

kind regards

[Silvan Scherrer]

sorry but we have no time to test such non standard installations.

Hallo diver,

the usage of the OS/2 environment variables BeginLibPath?, EndLibPath? and LIBPATHSTRICT are standard OS/2 functions.

An OS/2 program should work according the specification to handling these values!

Otherwise it is defect.

Lucide 1.21 does work according these standards, 1.3x does not!

kind regards

I guess your problem has nothing to do with Lucide. We don't block BEGINLIBPATH and it's not possible in principle to do so (this variable is handled by the OS/2 loader before the EXE gets control). Please check your environment and paths. Some other DLL is probably missing (you didn't give a complete error message so it's not clear which one).

Hallo dmik,

your points have been checked again.

A la Stalin ( trust is good , control is better :-) or the four eyes check and balance :-)

you can check my test, I have documented the tests and the output

1. your can see displayed error message and compare it with the subject line See the screen shoot of the message box of the attachment.

2. the my environment and path are documented with a test.cmd file and the output of the two cases

1. LIBC063.dll only in DIR defined in BeginLibPath? Case ... BOX-yes.txt

2. LIBC063.DLL in the BeginLibPath? and in the current dir case ... BOX-no.txt

Please check the attachment files

kind regards

(In [467]) launcher: Retain the previous BEGINLIBPATH setting since loading lucide.dll may fail otherwise if some of its prerequisites (like libc063.dll) are located in a path from that previous setting and LIBPATHSTRICT=T mode is used (fixes ticket:219).

[dmik]

Okay, we did not block BEGINLIBPATH but we overwrote it when loading lucide.dll so that if something needed by it was in the previous BEGINLIBPATH specification (like LIBC063.DLL in your case) it could not find it. Quite non-typical situation but overwriting BEGINLIBPATH (instead of ap-/pre-pending to the current value) is a bad practice anyway. Fixed now.
