I'm following the "C++ on Windows with Visual Studio Code" guide on the eurorack-blocks website and everything seems to go smoothly until I run erbb setup --with-vscode-support, at which point I get this error.

Things I have tried:

Uninstalling and reinstalling Python Adding \eurorack-blocks, \Python and \Python\Scripts to the Path variable in Windows Installing various versions of cairo that I found online and adding their locations to the Path variable

I am something of a novice with this kind of command line work so let me know if there's anything more I can add to help. Thanks!

Hi @prettyboylaurel

Thanks for your report. We actually install our own version of cairo because this library is incredibly difficult to make work right. So your problem is half a surprise unfortunately.

Here it finds the library, but cannot load it, as shown in:

cannot load library 'C:\Users\laurel\Desktop\eurorack-blocks\build-system\toolchain\msys2_mingw64\bin\libcairo-2.dll': error 0x7f

So I would suspect the dll is not compatible with your machine.

Could you please tell me:

• Your version of Windows,
• The actual architecture of your computer running Windows? I suspect this it not an Intel chip, but maybe an ARM?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! I'm running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3570), and you're right that it's not an Intel CPU, but it isn't ARM, it's an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X. Let me know if you need any more information.
