Simulator wont run on Windows?

[kheuton]

I downloaded the 1.0.0 Windows release, extracted the files, and dragged the QASM onto the simulator. However, running the simulator resulted in the following error:

"The code execution cannot proceed because libdl.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

I understand this is just a fun little demo but I thought I'd let you know about a problem I was having on Windows 11, happy to provide more details if needed.

I got 1 warning from Windows Defender, but I was able to tell it to run anyway. The error still occurs with Windows Defender fully disabled

Thanks for testing it! Try now, I added the missing dll to the Windows release, let me know if it works.

Thanks, I downloaded the new release.

The simulation file triggers a bunch of different scary trojan virus alerts on windows: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d5e7be5121d4ab74c0e1643003d5537b678157a30c78a09346b5df5cfba08fb9

I ignored them and ran anyway and it worked. Unclear if I've been hacked, but it was fun playing Quandoom!

Oh, very weird, looking at that report it seems like it contacted some IP addresses, which I do not believe it should do. I compiled it on a basically fresh install of Windows from the main.cpp file in the repo. Maybe the weird behavior comes from the graphics library I used (SDL)? I'll test it soon with my antivirus and try to figure out what the problem is, thanks for letting me know!
