FreeImage.dll

Post by BlueSatoshi » Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:16 am

Well, every time I try to compile any of the background examples for the DS, I keep getting an error stating that FreeImage.dll is missing and has to be installed. Where do I install it?

Hi! I'm new, but I just had the same problem, and reinstalling did nothing, but I found out how to solve it.

Each one of the examples comes with a Makefile which, when run, creates a "build" folder in the same directory. You have to put the .dll in that build folder and apparently, that's it, because it worked for me. Also, you can create the build folder yourself and put the .dll there before running the Makefile. Hope it helps :)

Wrong. You put the FreeImage.dll in the devkitPro\devkitARM\bin folder where grit.exe is located, you should never put any .dll files in any build directories unless your making a windows application that uses local dll files.
