lasinfo reports missing msvcp120.dll

[martinl]

After installing las package, the command utilities do not work because of missing msvcp120.dll library. The problem seems to be that msvcrt package depends only on msvcrt2008 and msvcrt2010 packages (1). So in this case dependency on mscvrt2013 is missing in setup.hint. Is there any reason why this dependency (and 2012 version) is missing or is it just a bug?

I can fix the issue, I am just not sure what option is better:

1) add msvcrt2013 depenency to msvcrt package

2) add msvcrt2013 dependecy to las package

?

the package should require the individual msvcrt* package it requires - so that old msvcrt* package can be eventually removed, once no packages depend on it anymore.

so you are suggesting to add msvcrt2012 and msvcrt2013 as dependencies for msvcrt package, right?

No. If packages depend on msvcrt instead of the individual msvcrtXXXX package, we'll neither know which on it actually depends on and in turn will never be able to remove any of them - even if we actually don't need them anymore.

I have updated ​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/x86_64/release/liblas/setup.hint to include also msvcrt2013 package as a new dependency. I am not sure about 32bit version (which is 1.7.0 anyway).

HUH, how I can close the ticket? In "Modify Ticket" section I can just see "Leave as new" and nothing else. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

[jef]

You should now be able to modify tickets.
