You could at the very least specify which version of Blender package you downloaded (VC2008 or VC2013)?

Same problem in b64bdb2 with 64b, but in 32b I have missing error libiconv-2.dll

Same problem in b64bdb2 with 64b, but in 32b I have missing error libiconv-2.dll

reporting it there as my bug report was merged in this one

missing libiconv-2.dll and avutil-51.dll on blender-2.70-b64bdb2-win32
blender-2.70-a7242c3-win32 was working without problem and didn't had those files.

That said, i was looking at the commits list and noticed the presence of avutil-51.dll on the modified files of this entry from a couple of days ago :
https://developer.blender.org/rBd3a73d0845834801608e8d47f372851973724e2c

And noticed Sergey mentionning :
"Libraries are still being committed to the svn, so compilation might be broken
for a while. Sorry for this, but can't really be avoided."

Could this be the reason of those missing dll error ?

I just downloaded and tried blender-2.70-1bd3922-win32 from the buildbot and it does not throw anymore the missing dll message, it works great.

I can't confirm for the win64 version as i don't have a 64bits system.

Yes, I have installed blender-2.70-1bd3922-win32 and it works fine. I have not tested the 64 bits built since it is a few days ago.

To whom it may concern, here on Win7 Pro 64bit and Blender 2.70 (Hash: 3216e4b), blender-2.70-3216e4b-win64.zip just downloaded from builder.blender.org/download/ everything works fine and no missing DLLs error messages. So, perhaps, this bug report ticket might be closed.

@mont29 To me it seems that only the msvc 2008 windows 32 bit version is broken in this regard.

Yes, i just tried the blender-2.70-36defb7-win32-vc12 from the buildbot ( that is older as it is the 19 april , while the vc2008 version that is newer is broken since the 14 or 15 april ) and it works without the missing dll error message.

As the win32 vc2012 is now up to date on the buildbot, i could then give a test to today's blender-2.70-1e39046-win32-vc12
And it worked without a problem , no missing dll message.

I gave a try to the vc2008 version (as it's today built on the same revision), blender-2.70-1e39046-win32 and there's still missing dll for this one.

It confirms only the vc2008 version of the win32 buildbot is missing those 2 dll.
last version of the vc2008 build (from the buildbot i mean) that worked without the missing dll message was
blender-2.70-6e9c2d0-win32 from the 14 april

I know you guys are dropping vs2008 builds , but just for completion of this bug report in case it popup one day on future builds i found out that :

  • latest vs2008 buildbot win32 " blender-2.70-d964bad-win32.zip " has still the missing libiconv-2.dll missing

  • latest vs2012 buildbot win32 " blender-2.70-d964bad-win32-vc12 " does not have such message

  • in the vs2008 buildbot win32 directory if you rename
    iconv.dll
    into
    libiconv-2.dll

there is no error message anymore and the vs2008 win32 build will work perfectly.

Hey Guys,

i've got the same problem.
I downloaded the Win 32bit 5db81a0 build today (2014/05/12) and also got the libiconv-2.dll is missing.
Would be great if it would be fixed soon.
BTW does anyone know if the builds from graphicall.org work?

NG

Current buildbot does not have the problem. And we are moving towards msvc 2013 anyway

I know you guys are moving away from it the "legacy" version but it looks like it's just back at that error again

today's buildbot :
blender-2.70-f8f25c3-win32-vc9
claims it's missing libiconv-2.dll again

making a copy of iconv.dll and renaming that copy into libiconv-2.dll solves the problem for those interested

previous version that was on buildbot (and lots before it :
blender-2.70-edfd989-win32-vc9
was working without that error

Please simply download the official builds, the legacy ones are mainly there as reference still (for bughunting etc).

No need to re-open this report, especially since there is an easy workaround.

from the dev meeting you certainly followed :

"Sergey Sharybin: two regressions were assigned to him, he will look into that. One is related to the switch from MSVC 2008 to 2013 (where OpenMP threading differs). This makes Blender factors slower for Windows users... "

That's reason enough to keep using the "legacy" msvc2008 version until the slow problem affecting the window msvc2013 and openmp is solved
