Hello again,
I managed to get as far as you have, ie the “No such process” error, and tried a few more things but now I am struggling to think of what to do next, so putting it out there in case others have an idea.
I tried cygcheck with all the wx dlls as @Robin suggested, but it didn’t report any errors and nothing jumped out at me. I then tried using strace to see which dlls Python is trying to load, and hopefully identify any problems there. I couldn’t see any sign of dll files not being found, but I did see something suspicious:
exception c0000139 at 779f94f7
Google tells me that exception c0000139 means “Entry point not found”. Which dll this relates to is not clear to me - the strace output lists the dlls being loaded but the error appears at a different place in the output in successive runs. Guessing this is related to it coming from a different process?
One thing that seems strange to me is that in other forums where the “No such process” error is discussed, the contributors seemed just to know which dll was causing the problem. Maybe they knew the insides of the modules well enough, but still if we knew which function was likely to provoke the error then maybe grep would be our friend.
That’s all for now…
