i have downloaded Tao framework to work with Opengl and DevIl together. the problem is when i try to use devIl library i get this error under 64 bit platform ( settings > build > platform target)
Unable to load DLL 'DevIL.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
when trying to use the library under 32bit platform, i get thise error
Unable to load DLL 'DevIL.dll': The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1)
how can i fix it?
The most recent TaoFramework doesn't have DevIL binding in its sources.
I searched, and I found an older version of Tao, previsely here. From there, you can compiler Tao.DevIL library, which requires DevIL 1.6.8 RC2, which you can find it here; download the binary, or compile your self the project from the sources.
Make to sure have the DLL in you path.
If you want to run on Windows, I suppose you shall modify the sources in order to point correctly to the DLL file; if running on 64 bit platform, I suppose you shall point to the 64 bit version of DevIL.
(You're lucky, I've investigated just right now).
