Codelite 2.10 in W2K doesn't start - kernel32.dll problem

[imalipusram]

Dear experts,

I tried to upgrade from Codelite 2.1 to 2.10 on Windows2000 SP4, installing from the respective complete .exe, which includes GCC/MinGW/wxWidgets. When I try to start CodeLite, I get an error message:

"The procedure entry point AttachConsole" could not be located in KERNEL32.dll".

After re-installing 2.1, the error message is gone. Then, I tried to install 2.5, and it worked, then I was able to install the versions up to 2.8. 2.9 produces the same error message as above.

Is that something I/you can fix or would the current version of CodeLite require a newer version of Windows?

Thanks for your help!

PS the reason why I am still using W2K is that I sometimes need a simple, stable and resource-friendly Windows running in a virtual machine (VirtualBox for OpenSuse Linux). And, it's fully sufficient for my needs.

The functionality that requires AttachConsole is something very basic in codelite and can not workaround without a re-write.

I am afraid that you will need to upgrade your Windows to a newer version (at least XP) or use the latest version of codelite that works for you (2.5?)
