Cocotb with Active HDL

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I am trying to use cocotb on Windows 10 with Active HDL 10.2. I installed anaconda for for 64 bit Python 3 and followed the instructions on the wiki.

I am trying to use the simple_dff and adder examples to get my feet wet and cannot seem to get them to work.

I keep on getting the same error:

<KERNEL: PLI/VHPI kernel's engine initialization done. PLI: Loading library 'C:\users\textron\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\cocotb\libs\libcocotbvpi_aldec.dll' PLI: Cannot load the "C:\users\textron\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\cocotb\libs\libcocotbvpi_aldec.dll" library. The library does not exist or is corrupted. PLI: The specified procedure could not be found.>

When I go to the path specified the libcocotbvpi_aldec.dll is there. Any clue what I am doing wrong?

I don’t think there is an installation option for that, but for Active-HDL 11.1 I had to rename the mingw folder.
