ospNewDevice("default"); dont work

[loppirob]

i linked to my visual studio 2015 c++ project: C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\lib\ospray.lib and use all dll from C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\bin

and try to initialize ospray by OSPDevice mydevice = ospNewDevice("default");

but as message is shown after : ospDeviceCommit(mydevice);

INITIALIZATION ERROR --> Could not find device of type: default.

If i link ospray.lib from ospray-1.3.0 and use 1.3 dll all works ok

why? what is wrong or changed in new version?

This looks like a similar issue to #273: maybe an older installed embree.dll is loaded first? Basically some dynamic dependency (dll) could not be fulfilled.

Can you check whether the example programs (like ospExampleViewer.exe) in C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\bin run out-of-the box? If yes, can you double-check that C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\bin is early/first in PATH, or that all dlls (in particular ospray_module_ispc.dll and embree.dll) are copied into the Release folder?

Yes, ospExampleViewer.exe run in the same path of my program. For testing i put my exe in C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\bin but still not work, same message Mind that In C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\bin embree.dll not exist, instead there is embree3.dll version 3.3.0

I make a simple program for testing but not work, same error:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { OSPDevice mydevice = ospNewDevice("default"); ospDeviceCommit(mydevice); ospSetCurrentDevice(mydevice);

…

Whats wrong?

Maybe you can replicate the error with vc 2015 (or other compiler) and link C:\ospray-1.7.2.windows\lib\ospray.lib :

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { OSPDevice mydevice = ospNewDevice("default"); ospDeviceCommit(mydevice); ospSetCurrentDevice(mydevice);

…

I run the program in the path with all your files inside bin directory (see the jpg attached)

OK, I found the problem: contrary to the documentation the "default" device will currently only be found if the module "ispc" is loaded first. We will fix this in a future release, as a workaround now you can either

• use ospInit() instead of ospNewDevice
• or call ospLoadModule("ispc") first, before calling ospNewDevice.

Thanks for your patience, it now works perfectly
