Sorry, completely dropped the ball on this. Thanks for following up, and awesome that the maintainer could help out here.
As you may have seen from the other Windows building thread, I don't currently have a functional build setup, so I can't really test or make these changes. If the cloud building options fall through I'll revisit this, and an upgrade to 3.24.1 is definitely on the cards. cheers, Kai On 17 June 2017 at 20:45, Serhan Apaydın <zer...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Where did you get this library from? > > Found it inside the installation folder.
