#1732 closed defect (wontfix)

kernel32.dll error in Windows 95

Reported by: SF/hal9042 Owned by: fingolfin
Priority: normal Component: Port: Win32
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game:

Description

Running scummvm.exe produces two errors:

[TITLE] path\scummvm.exe (X) A device attached to the system is not functioning.

[TITLE] Error Starting Program /!\ The SCUMMVM.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:InterlockedCompareExchange.

This error occurs in Windows 95 for versions 0.6.1, 0.6.1b, and the latest build.

Version 0.6.0 works fine in Windows 95 and all versions work in Windows 2000.

A Google search for "KERNEL32.DLL:InterlockedCompareExchange" indicates that several programs have this problem in Windows 95 and only work in Window 98 and later.

Thanks -Charles

This is a new symbol needed by the newer SDL versions. However, we don't support Windows 95, so there won't be a fix from us for this. If you are desperate to use it on Win95, you could try to find a windows developer who compiles ScummVM 0.6.1b with an older version of SDL for you, that might help. Other than that, I can only recommend to update to at least Win98SE :-)
