libdiscon compiled but could not be loaded by OpenFAST on Windows

[eolerx]

I am trying to compile the ROSCO controller on Windows 10 x64 with the following tools:

• CMake GUI
• MinGW-w64
• the modified CMakeLists.txt file Add to CMakeLists.txt to enable compilation on win32/mingw #8 (it would be nice to merge the commit so that other users can access this file from the master branch)

However, I am getting the following error when running the compiled DLL in OpenFAST:
FAST_InitializeAll:SrvD_Init:BladedInterface_Init:The dynamic library ..\..\ROSCO\build\libdiscon.dll could not be loaded. Check that the file exists in the specified location and that it is compiled for 64-bit applications.

Do you know how to resolve this issue ?

FYI, compiling ROSCO on UNIX systems is extremely easy but rather tedious on Windows, even when using Anaconda and the ROSCO toolbox.

Resolved -- 32bit instead of 64bit mingw-w64 installed

Dear eolerx,

I´ve got the same issue. Would you mind sharing the file?

Thanks

Hi,

Does either of the Windows (dll) binaries here work for you? https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO/releases/tag/v2.7.0

I agree with the above sentiment regarding Windows vs. Unix compiling, especially for 32-bit.

Best, Dan
