Node 22 windows issue

[acalcutt]

MAUI is somehow related to my work, except I used C++/CLI. But it's a opportunity to take a look and see if there's something useful to your project.

Sorry to hijack this, but @tdcosta100 is there a chance that the mbgl.node binary for windows (since atleast maplibre-gl-native v5.4.0+ with Node v22) doesn't link all necessary DLLs?

In particular these 2: msvcp140.dll and msvcp140_codecvt_ids.dll

Everything works fine on my dev machine (where C/C++ build tools are installed). However, I've tried using the mbgl.node binary in the Windows Sandbox, and after some testing I found out that the before mentioned DLL's seem to be missing. Is it a prerequisite to have the build tools installed only for building or also for using the binary?

@etnav , make sure you have the latest c++ redistributable from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 , I believe there was a update to the vcpkg in those versions of the maplibre-native node package that required a c++ redistibutable update. Without it, the node process kind of ends silently

I know we had that issue in maplibre-native node v6, but i think we also updated vcpkg in the later version of v5 also. I noted this on tileserver-gl v5.0.0 release, which uses maplibre-native v6.0.0, because it didn't really say much when it failed.

Edit: it looks like I noted that for this tileserver-gl v4.13.0 release also, which used maplibre-native v5.4.1

Thanks for creating the issue.

As mentioned, I tested this in the Windows Sandbox. My application ships most of the (vcredist) DLL's for other parts that depend on them so I've had them partially covered except for msvcp140_codecvt_ids.dll and (apparently an older version) msvcp140.dll

Whilst msvcp140_codecvt_ids.dll is missing, I'd get the error where the mbgl.node can't be found within node_modules/@maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/lib/node-v127/ directory, even though it's clearly present. Adding this DLL then resulted in the behaviour you also desribed: node process just ends silently.

I then installed all the DLL's and it started working immedately. However I wanted to know what exactly was missing. Turns out that the msvcp140.dll that I ship for some other stuff is maybe an older version, because when I include the new one it works like a charm.

I noticed the same thing when I was having issues. it was acting like dlls were missing, wich usually come from the redistributable. after upgrading the redoubtable it worked.

Sounds like you got it working so I will close this
