'Latest versions don't work'

Hello, I'm a new nibtools user. I just built the necessary equipment and started imaging some disks. But there's a big problem here: I'm only able to use nibtools up to version 0.6.4, because versions r508, r511 and r513 all give me this error: "The procedure entry point cbm_parallel_burst_read_track_var could not be located in the dynamic link library binkw32.dll."
I'm aware that I have to download versions labelled for opencbm4 and that's what I did. OpenCBM 0.4.2 is installed and works perfectly. I tried with two different WinXP installations and I always get the aforementioned error. Please help!

Whoops, i meant "opencbm.dll". I googled for the English version of the error I'm getting (since my XP is in Italian) and forgot to change the library name when copypasting text. Sorry.

Hi Carmine,

Apparently there is an error in my build process where that routine is not being compiled in when it's missing from earlier versions of OpenCBM. I am out of town without access to the dev tools this week, but will check it out when I get back.

Alternatives are to compile newer versions of OpenCBM yourself, or find where someone else has done so.

Thank you Pete for your answer. If anyone has new OpenCBM binaries for Win32 and wants to share them, I'd love to give them a try.
BTW I took a look at nibtools' sources and - although I'm not a skilled C programmer - I think I found the problem: the function is always declared as external, while it should be declared either as internal or external in the "#ifndef OPENCBM_42 / #else / #endif" control structure inside opencbm.h (but I could be completely wrong as C is not my cup of tea).

One newer build was done to support the ZoomFloppy. Details at [link]

Actually, it sounds like you're using an older adapter, not the ZoomFloppy. So don't use these newer binaries as they won't work well for you.

This is fixed now in the new build, r514. Tested with 0.4.2 release on i386.
