Hi Utk,
we recently changed how DLLs are handled in Chrono. We copy the DLLs only
for the INSTALL tree not for the BUILD anymore.
In the page you referred there is a small section telling that:
- Since many of the 3rd-party dependency packages create and install
shared libraries, the following steps may be required:
- on Linux, run ldconfig (you will likely need root permissions) to
cache the necessary link to the newly created shared libraries or set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
- on Windows, add to the PATH environment variable the directories
containing the package DLLs (otherwise, these DLLs have to be manually
copied next to the binaries so that they can be found at run-time)
This means that you need to add the Irrlicht DLL folder to PATH if you are
on Windows.
However, since you refer to Irrlicht you should have checked the dedicated
Chrono::Irrlicht install guide... but you wouldn't have find anything about
this. We should definitely remind the user about it
Dario
