I am trying to install SheepShaver on Windows and when I try to open SheepShaverGUI.exe it gives me this error

The procedure entry point pango_font_map_create_context could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\GtkSharp\2.12\bin\libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll

Here is what I have in the folder:

In folder SheepShaver: Folder CD-ROM drivers. Folder Ethernet drivers. Folder General documents. Folder HFVExplorer. File Basiliskll_keycodes, 7 KB. File Mac_OS_ROM, 1,901 KB. File Mac_OS_ROM_oldworld, 4,096 KB. Text Document READ_ME, 1 KB. Application extension SDL.dll, 314 KB. Application SheepShaver, 912 KB. File SheepShaver_prefs, 1 KB. Application SheepShaverGUI, 122 KB. Text Document stdout, 1 KB.

Note that I am running Windows 10 Pro x64, Build 10586

  • Did you install the GTK runtime? SheepShaver requires GTK +2 and SDL run-times are installed.

  • Emaculation has a walk-through on setting up SheepShaver you might find helpful (emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver_setup). The interesting bit is they mention newer versions of GTK may not work and recommend using version 2.10.13 (which they provide a link to).

  • I am following that tutorial so that is the version that I have installed

  • GTK apps on Windows are an adventure. I'm reminded of the term "yak shaving" which is apropos.

Uninstall GTK +2 if you already have it. Go to Emaculation and download the GTK +2 Runtime from there. Set it up and SheepShaverGui.exe should work. If not, restart your computer.
