JorisFRST,

I looked at the code and we only reference "fastbitmap.dll" and "log4net.dll". Can you please test using onyl those 2 and avoid copying the other dlls ?

Simone

EDIT:

Forgot to say that looking at those using depends.exe doesn't show a dependency to the others 2 dll either.

Hi, glkdriver is not used apparently, but libgx2 is used, it's asked for when you try the "test display" in configuration.

Joris.

BAD news Joris.

"LibDriverCoreClient.dll" and "FastBitmap.dll" are compiled against log4net.dll. This one is the same version I updated in MP base but it's not the same code ( binary compare shows a lot of differences ).

The result is that I always get the msg "Failed to locate assembly 'log4net, version 1.2.10.0...." even with the new one

You can try asking Matrix Orbital support to compile their driver against the standard log4net.dll but I dought they will do something...

And there is no way to reference those to another location ? and initialize with another version of log4net ?

I'll try and post on the matrix orbital forum.

Not that i know as "LibDriverCoreClient" is linked at compile time.

Hi,

this is the answer I got from one of the developers :

"
Joris,

There is no 'standard' version of log4net for since it does not ship with the framework, its a third party dll. However the version we ship with
(1.2.10) is the latest available and got released in 2006. So its not like we're shipping some cutting edge version that nobody else is using. If there's a specific 3rd party application that is causing you grief send me a reproducible test case and i'll be more then happy to see what i can do about it.

--Ray"

chemilli, can you confirm you are using the log4net 1.2.10.0 from apache download that's 264kb 30/03/2006
as i can't make it work with that one either, so looking at the changed date on the GX driver one it's somewhere 2008, while it's supposed to be a 2006 file.

Joris.

Joris, I confirm I'm using 1.2.10.0 compiled against .NET 2.0. It's 264Kb from 30/03/2006 (http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/log4net/1.2.10/incubating-log4net-1.2.10.zip), but this is not the one you posted in the zip:

260Kb from 04/03/2008

If you do a binary file comparison you'll see its not the same!

Thanks to confirm.

That's the only downloadable I could find for my testing here too.

The one from the matrix orbital driver is indeed different.

I'll keep you updated when I got more info from matrix orbital.

---------UPDATE :

Good news.

Ray @ Matrix Orbital is looking into it, they have no idea why the log4net changed, they have the same version with another key token.

The next driver will be using the new stock one from apache (with the new key token).

There is no ETA as such as obviously they are busy with other stuff too.

Joris.

 

[chemelli]

Let me know when you have an updated version of the dlls so I can include them in our distribution.

Hi,

dll's are updated from matrix orbital, it's basicly a fix.

I'll put a download link to the MO forum here :

zip file : http://updates.lcdstudio.com/gx/LibDriverCoreClient.zip

Forum topic : http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=21227#21227

I can tell you it works (without tv client installed of course, as I don't have the version compiled against log4net framework 2.0 version available for that yet).

 

[chemelli]

Done

Great work, and can't thank the matrix orbital people enough either to be so responsive
