SUMMARY Something is really wrong with the parameters given to SnoreToast.exe. Even `-v` and `-h` do nothing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download SnoreToast nightly (commit 4240c64dc51ea71b00a603c96f84e9cd0c53874b) 2. Run the Installer (alternatively, only download the binary) 3. Run `SnoreToast.exe -v` or `SnoreToast.exe -h` Alternatively: 1. Download sources (commit 4240c64dc51ea71b00a603c96f84e9cd0c53874b) 2. Compile with MSVC 19.21.27702.2 (cmake, nmake) 3. Run `SnoreToast.exe -v` or `SnoreToast.exe -h` OBSERVED RESULT Version or help output being printed to the terminal. EXPECTED RESULT No output. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Nightly binary exits with 0, while the locally compiled binary exits with 5.
yes we need a proper arg parser... do you know something lightweight which supports wchar?

Huh. Interestingly, I am now getting error messages that I did not get last time. I guess this explains why parameters won't work. Here they are (came as popups). Am I missing any dependencies? ``` The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. ``` ``` The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. ```
Haha. Ok. I did not have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed. Maybe this should be hinted somewhere as a dependency. For future reference, download here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Hi, in difference to the old build the runtime was not statically linked. I think for something like snoretoast it makes sense to link it statically so https://github.com/KDE/snoretoast/commit/087de58cac44db8c325ca96061e1b55242a29080 should fix the issue.
Great! Thanks for the fix.
