Unable to load prpltwtr 0.9.0 (Win XP 32) if debug symbols aren't installed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Client (Pidgin, finch, empathy, etc): Pidgin (German)
Client Version: 2.9.0
LibPurple Version: 2.9.0
PrplTwtr Version: 0.9.0
Operating System: Windows XP 32 bit (German)

Problem/Feature request (Be as specific as possible. Steps to reproduce are
especially helpful):

After installing the DLLs won't load. 0.8.0 worked fine. Debug log says that 
the module could not be found:

(15:04:08) plugins: probing D:\Pidgin\plugins\libgtkprpltwtr.dll
(15:04:08) plugins: D:\Pidgin\plugins\libgtkprpltwtr.dll is not loadable: 
`D:\Pidgin\plugins\libgtkprpltwtr.dll': Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht 
gefunden.
(15:04:08) plugins: probing D:\Pidgin\plugins\libprpltwtr_statusnet.dll
(15:04:08) plugins: D:\Pidgin\plugins\libprpltwtr_statusnet.dll is not 
loadable: `D:\Pidgin\plugins\libprpltwtr_statusnet.dll': Das angegebene Modul 
wurde nicht gefunden.
(15:04:08) plugins: probing D:\Pidgin\plugins\libprpltwtr_twitter.dll

`D:\Pidgin\plugins\libprpltwtr_twitter.dll': Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht 
gefunden.

The DLLs are present, neither the protocol not the plugin are shown in Pidgin.

Is libprpltwttr.dll being loaded? All three depend on it. [I'm not 100% sure I 
know how to translate the German into the exact English message that I'd 
recognize].

There was a change in the names from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0. Perhaps try deleting 
*prpltwtr*.dll, and reinstalling 0.9.0.

Note that you'll need to re-enable gtkprpltwtr after this.

According to Process Explorer the DLL is not loaded. I do not have any 
leftovers from the old install (as far as I can see). To be sure I'll add a 
list of the existing DLLs in my Pidgin main dir as well as in the plugins dir.

I also added the lists as files so you can remove the lists in this comment if 
it gets too messy to read.

I also tried renaming libprpltwtr.dll to libprpltwttr.dll but it did not make a 
difference.

The rename was unnecessary; I had a typo in my comment ;)

I'm not sure what to tell you, other than WorksForMe. I wonder if it could be 
related to the language somehow, although I'm not sure how.

Can you send me a debug log showing how libprpltwtr.dll is being loaded, as 
well?

Also, are you willing to try with a fresh pidgin installation? You can install 
PortablePidgin in another directory, and install the plugin there; it won't 
affect your main pidgin install (but you can't run them simultaneously).

Can you confirm that if you go back to 0.8.0, it works (note that you'll have 
to uninstall 0.9.0 first)

Thanks for your help; sorry I don't have any ideas at the moment.

I tried a fresh portable version of 2.9.0. Here's the complete debug log. I 
changed the language to English so the messages are easier to understand.

It's working now. The debug symbols are a non-optional dependency (I did not 
copy the debug symbols as I did not intend to debug).

Thank you for your help.

Interesting. That's not good. [I always use the debug symbols, and they're the 
default, so I guess no one noticed].

Thanks for investigating this. I will try to figure out what happened

I already thought that making the debug symbols a dependency was no intension. 
At least it's working now and it can be fixed in 0.10.0

I think I have a fix for this in the makefiles.

Can you try the attached version and confirm that it works for you? Note that 
this version also includes some extra stuff, namely lists you've subscribed to 
but didn't create, and a fix for using the per-account (instead of the global) 
proxy definitions)

The actual code will be delivered tomorrow; I don't have time tonight :)
