In order to resolve runtime problems on Windows reported by Art Hunkins and others, I have uploaded new Windows installers to SourceForge:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/csound/Csound5.09.2-gnu-win32-f.exe?use_mirror=

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/csound/Csound5.09.2-gnu-win32-d.exe?use_mirror=

Changes include:

-- The compiler has been changed from MinGW gcc version 4.2.1-dw2, with Dwarf-2 exception handling, to gcc version 4.2.1-sjlj (mingw32-2), with setjump/longjump exception handling. The change was made because, even though the Dwarf-2 compiler generates faster code, the code it generates for DLL relocations is buggy. This caused occasional failures to load some opcodes and plugins. The setjump/longjump compiler does not have these bugs, and the code it generates appears to be nearly as fast as the Dwarf-2 code.

-- All third party libraries, including PortAudio, have been built with the MinGW (previously, some were built with Microsoft Visual C++). As a result, there are no longer any dependencies on the Microsoft runtime library, manifests, and so on.

An updated document detailing the procedure for building the Windows installers is attached.

Please report any problems!

Regards,
Mike

Hi Michael,

This new Windows version is faster in realtime rendering and without any 
glitches...

Thanks,

Marc

When using [csound~], I'm no longer getting "WARNING: could not open library"
or "Error 998" type errors.
I highly recommend all Windows [csound~] users update to Csound 5.09.2.

Thanks, Michael.  I knew you could do it :)

Davis
