I am having a problem running an application which requires an external DLL. The strange thing is that it occurs only when build for i686 and not x86_64
I am trying to build the Emacs pretests using mingw-w64 and msys2. On windows, Emacs uses libXpm-noX4.dll. So, to enable a "standalone" installation of Emacs, I have copied this file into the build directory of Emacs, alongside emacs.exe. When launched from msys, both the x86_64 and i686 build start correctly and load libXpm-noX4. I have checked directly within Emacs and they are both loading the correct DLL from the same directory as the respective versions of emacs.exe lie. Now, if I try and launch Emacs from windows explorer, the 64bit version starts and loads libXpm-noX4. But, if I launch the 32bit version in the same way, Emacs starts, but fails to load libXpm-noX4. I'm rather confused by this; I believe that libXpm-noX4 should be in the DLL search path for both versions. But it appears not. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
