You need to install gtk2 using MSYS2 or something like that in order to use the Windows binary on GitHub releases. Can you try the last snippet from https://github.com/haskell/ThreadScope/blob/90947984a1a570b3c6ec409b0d62b7b6b3b5c61f/README.md?
hm, this should be well documented. Before it was running out of the box, because archives were including everything needed to run on clean machine.
Some time ago I also tried this ready exe. You tap Enter a few times and gtk is installed on Windows: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/
I any case, let me know if I can edit the wiki with some proper info.
The documentation could be improved.
I'm opposed to include GTK+ dependencies (DLLs) into the release artifacts because those deps tend to be out-of-date and need to be updated regularly.
As for the gtk-win project, it seems to be deprecated and not maintained any more. The official GTK+ project recommends MSYS2.
I'll extend README later.
^ Updated README.
I think we can close this now. Feel free to reopen if there are any other comments.
I installed msys2 and used pacman to install 64-bit gtk2 but I still get an error when running ThreadScope (from within msys2):
/threadscope.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm using the latest Windows binary 0.2.11.
That library does exist at /mingw64/bin/libpangocairo-1.0.0-dll. So I wonder why threadscope can't find it? Maybe I need some env var set for it to find the lib?
I'm not familiar with Windows environment at all but is there libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll available in your %PATH%?
Well, I'll be darned, that did it, thanks! I added /mingw64/bin to my $PATH. I would think that MSYS2 would automatically put that in my path, but... now it works.
