Glib-GIO-ERROR**: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

I was able to compile and run the master branch on Windows 7 64 bit successfully. However, after I switched to the GTK3 branch, an error occurred when I tried to start RT. It complained “Glib-GIO-ERROR**: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system”. If I start RT from the MSYS window, it works fine. What file am I missing here?

Thanks!

Did you copy gschemas.compiled as indicated?

Yes, I did copy gschemas.compiled.

@noteasy2beme I think I had the same problem as yours last time I reinstalled all the MSYS2 stuff, the provided gschemas.compiled file did not contain the required information. I think you have to run the command glib-compile-schemas from MSYS2 console, and copy the updated file into the relevant RT folder.

@noteasy2beme If I remember, I installed (for 32bits)
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gsettings-desktop-schemas

Thank you guys for your advice. My problem was solved. It turned out that my problem was due to one of the dll files (I don’t know which one it was)

I am experiencing the same message, when starting RT, but with http://rawtherapee.com/releases_head/windows/RawTherapee_WinVista_64_Gtk3_Release_4.2.880.zip (and the corresponding debug version as well), when choosing a custom install location:

  • C:\bin\av\rawtherapee (custom location) → crashes on startup as described above
  • C:\Program Files\RawTherapee-4.2.880 (default location) → works fine

My first guess is, that the search path does not adapt correctly to the customizable install location.
