Hi,

I have my own Houdini plugin, based on the SOP_Star example. It works well when built and run from Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 7 (Houdini 16.5.439).

When I try to use it in Windows 10, I get the following DSO Error when I open Houdini:

(126) Couldn't load C: /Users/<…>/Documents/houdini16.5/dso/<…>.dll.
This is probably because this file was intended for use with a different version of Houdini.

I only have one version of Houdini installed (16.5.439). I use CMake to create a Visual Studio 2015 solution ($HFS/toolkit/cmake) and it compiles fine. The SOP_Star example compiles and works fine, without any error.

What could I try to diagnose the issue?

Hi Moival,
why are you doing all this compiling stuff? This is very advanced stuff and you dont need it in most cases.

Have a look at HDAs and turn this into an HDA and it will work anywhere…

Hi Olaf,

Thank you for your reply, sorry I did not see it until now.
I use the HDK to program my own operator, so a digital asset is not sufficient unfortunately.

Currently, I have the same error message with Houdini 16.5.536 and Visual Studio 2017 (vc15).

EDIT: So, the issue was with the ANN library [www.cs.umd.edu], which has allocation/deallocation methods that trigger the problem, for some reason.
