The exact version bundled with MPC-HC 1.7.13 is actually from the very same SDK, as included in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and possibly other, newer versions. The DLL was also bundled with different versions of Microsoft’s development environment. The corresponding SDK v7.1 can still be in its final version from Microsoft at the time of writing. It was originally shipped in constantly upgraded versions with the Microsoft “Debugging Tools for Windows”, which are also included in the Windows SDK. ![]() ![]() While this works, I wanted to know what that library actually is and where to originally obtain it from. User log65536 originally suggested just taking it from the good old MPC-HC media player, which bundles version 6.12.2.633 of the DLL in its final in the subfolder CrashReporter\. With a stock dbghelp.dll you’ll run into the following error when trying to run FreeCiV 2.6.7 on any Windows XP or XP 圆4 system:įreeCiV 2.6.7 with SDL GUI running on XP 圆4 (click to enlarge)ĭbghelp.dll is a debugging library for things like stack traces, symbol table lookups etc. This bundled library has less features than the ones shipped with the Debugging Tools for Windows in the Windows SDK, or with Microsoft Visual Studio.

The game links against dbghelp.dll at runtime. ![]() You can get all versions for Windows including 2.6.7 from. At least it’s far too much for me to binary-hack, and also too hard to recompile & link from source in an older MSYS framework. The reason for this is mostly that development of the game was shifted from a MSYS/mingw to a newer, MSYS2/mingw build toolchain, which introduces many new Windows API dependencies that cannot be easily fixed for XP. Mind you that the newer 3.x releases won’t work and would be quite hard to fix, so this is specifically for the older version 2.6.7, latest in the 2.x series of releases. I would have never even found by myself (I only played Civilization V), but IRC user Srandista let me know that the free and open-source re-imagination of the “Civilization” games has issues on Windows XP and that they can be fixed by dropping in a specific DLL. 14th May 2021 - 3.0.0-beta2 is the second beta release of the freeciv-3.0 series.Yeah, it’s another one of “those” posts.26th Jun 2021 - 2.6.5 is a generic bugfix release in the stable 2.6 series.08th Oct 2021 - 3.0.0-beta3 is the third and final beta release of the freeciv-3.0 series.10th Dec 2021 - 2.6.6 is a generic bugfix release in the stable 2.6 series.04th Feb 2022 - The first release candidate for Freeciv 3.0.0 has been released.09th Feb 2022 - The second release candidate for Freeciv 3.0.0 has been released.(The previous stable release, 2.6.6, is still available from the Old downloads page.)
