Software darktable

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue with Darktable where I’m getting the following error messages:

failed to open ‘darkroom’: ‘C:\msys64\opt\darktable\lib\darktable/views\libdarkroom.dll’
failed to open ‘lighttable’: ‘C:\msys64\opt\darktable\lib\darktable/views\liblighttable.dll’
failed to open ‘slideshow’: ‘C:\msys64\opt\darktable\lib\darktable/views\libslideshow.dll’
failed to open ‘tethering’: ‘C:\msys64\opt\darktable\lib\darktable/views\libtethering.dll’
I have checked the CMakeLists.txt file, and the paths seem to be correctly specified.
However, it appears that the backslashes () in the paths are being converted to forward
slashes (/) during the execution of Darktable.

I have attempted to modify the paths in CMakeLists.txt by replacing the backslashes with
forward slashes, but the issue persists. I have also tried changing the build and installation directories,
but that hasn’t resolved the problem either.

I’m running Darktable on Windows10 and using darktable 4.2.1. Could you please provide guidance
on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Kei

Hello @hogemaru0603, and welcome!

From where did you obtain your copy of darktable?

Have fun!

did you follow the instructions in darktable/packaging/windows at master · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub ?
if so maybe you need to check the output of your install command …

@hogemaru0603 I would recommend downloading the latest version 4.4.1 from the official site and seeing if your problems persist. Install should be straight forward and 4.4 is way faster in processing than 4.2.

Thank you for your help. I was able to successfully load the module. I truly appreciate it.
