Problems to use self built Python extension on Windows: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing saxonche

Added by Martin Honnen 10 months ago

I have tried to build the SaxonC 12.0 HE extension on Windows and I think the extension finally has been built fine.

Now on trying to use it, however, it doesn't seem to find a library:

C:\Program Files\Saxonica\SaxonCHE12.0\pypi>dir

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing saxonche: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

My environment PATH contains C:\Program Files\Saxonica\SaxonCHE12.0\libs\win and the SaxonC command samples and C++ samples run fine and find any dlls.

What else do I have to set to make sure the Python module finds the (I suppose) C/C++ DLLs?

I have now tried to built and use the Python extension under WSL Ubuntu but I get a similar error

mh@LibertyDell:~/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/pypi$ python3
Python 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0] on linux

I am kind of lost which setting is missing.

I have also reproduced the same error on linux. Something strange going on here. I will create a bug issue for this problem.
