Cannot open on Windows via commandline - cx_Freeze in check_requirements (with workaround)
Problem
If you try to open Meld via cmd in Windows, you are greeted with a python error cx_Freeze: Error in main script
, which is caused by a failure to link to libgi
.
Workaround
Copy C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\lib\libgirepository-1.0-1.dll
to C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\libgirepository-1.0-1.dll
.
