Coming from my initial thoughts in: bmx-ng/image.mod#29
The current Weekly Builds are not able to execute their built files on Windows 7 - because physfs calls CreateFile2 there.
The issue is in physfs.mod/physfs/src/physfs_platform_windows.c
static inline HANDLE winCreateFileW(const WCHAR *wfname, const DWORD mode,
const DWORD creation)
{
const DWORD share = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE;
#if defined(PHYSFS_PLATFORM_WINRT) || (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0602) // Windows 8+
return CreateFile2(wfname, mode, share, creation, NULL);
#else
return CreateFileW(wfname, mode, share, NULL, creation,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
#endif
} /* winCreateFileW */
That code there is incorrect - it also is used on Windows 7.
Once knowing this it was easy to spot, that the physfs-repo already fixed that 2 months ago:
icculus/physfs@cc2da5a
Maybe we could update physfs too - or at least incorporate the fix so Windows7 users are back in the game again.
