Running error - missing libpng16.dll

[gbruscatto]

Hello,
First of all, forgive my english:

I'm trying to run the wesnoth solution on Visual Studio 2015, but I'm getting a missing libpng16.dll error. I've already added the external/lib folder in the path variable... Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you

Well, you should add external/dll to the PATH variable, not external/lib.

However, it seems wedge009 replaced that file with libpng16-16.dll, so I restored it. Just pull from the external repo (or get a new archive) and it should be fine.

Thank you guys,

I meant external/dll, I added the right folder...
I'd not realized that the required file (libpng16.dll) had a different name in the external folder (libpng16-16.dll) aquileia . Copying and pasting the same file on the dll folder just changing the name solved the problem.

I'm good to go, thanks again!

Was facing same issue, just changing the name sorted the issue out.

Thanks!
