SDL_Mixer: Flac support not available

[Keithcat1]

FLAC support is not available.
I have mix.INIT_FLAC specified.
go version go1.14.1 windows/amd64

Hi @Keithcat1, could you post the a minimal code that reproduces the issue? I tried to reproduce it but was unable to.

package main
import(
"github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/mix"
"time"
"os"
)
func HandleError(err error) {
if err!=nil { panic(err) }
}
func main() {
if len(os.Args)<2 {
println("Usage: File\n")
os.Exit(0)
}
file:=os.Args[1]
HandleError(mix.Init(mix.INIT_MP3|mix.INIT_OGG|mix.INIT_FLAC))
HandleError(mix.OpenAudio(mix.DEFAULT_FREQUENCY, mix.DEFAULT_FORMAT, mix.DEFAULT_CHANNELS, mix.DEFAULT_CHUNKSIZE))
defer mix.CloseAudio()
ch, err:=mix.LoadMUS(file)
HandleError(err)
err=ch.Play(3)
HandleError(err)
for mix.PlayingMusic() {
time.Sleep(time.Millisecond*5)
}
}

Hi @Keithcat1, could you tell me what kind of error did you encounter? Depending on the problem, it might be possible to solve the issue by copying the SDL2 *.dll files. For example:

cp /c/Program\ Files/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/lib*.dll .

Your MinGW version might be a little different!

Hi @Keithcat1, did you try coping the *.dll files into your program directory? If you have, could you list the files in your program directory (with ls -lh for example)? There should be a .dll file for FLAC.
