Lazarus, report and CGI

[TJC]

I've tried moving the freetype-6.dll to various directories in the Lazarus directory but still get the same error.  Where should I put the file.

I would imagine in the <windows>\system32\ directory, or whatever is the equivalent in 64-bit Windows platforms.

That would be %WINDIR%\sysWow64 that has the 32 bit stuff
%WINDIR%\system32 has 64 bit stuff in it.
No I did not type that backward.
Microsoft, gotta love (hate) them

update:found that fpreport actually needs zlib1.dll. I got mine here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm

I made a build from fpc svn trunk, and the fcldemo.exe works in my home machine. but it fails in my office with message "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)". maybe it is depending on something more?

my build is win32, and the OS is windows 10 64.
using freetype dll(and renamed to freetype-6.dll) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm

The bitness of the executable does not match that of the freetype dll!

claim down, my friend. I found it. it is not the bitness, it is zlib1.dll.

okay ... or any other dll.
