Failed to load native whisper library

I can’t get it work, I keep getting error “Failed to load native whisper library”. Not sure if I’m supposed to do something rather then adding packages in project, downloading model and creating processor. I’m doing exactly what is done in Simple example. The error appears at following line: using var whisperFactory = WhisperFactory.FromPath("ggml-base.bin");

I’m integrating into dotnet core 5 application running on linux-x64 machine. Should I manually run whisper library or add it somewhere? Not sure that I understand the process at all…

`

    // This section detects whether the "ggml-base.bin" file exists in our project disk. If it doesn't, it downloads it from the internet
    if (!System.IO.File.Exists(modelFileName))
    {
      await DownloadModel(modelFileName, ggmlType);
    }

    // This section creates the whisperFactory object which is used to create the processor object.
    using var whisperFactory = WhisperFactory.FromPath("ggml-base.bin");

    // This section creates the processor object which is used to process the audio file, it uses language `auto` to detect the language of the audio file.
    using var processor = whisperFactory.CreateBuilder()
        .WithLanguage("auto")
        .Build();

In working with containers, I found that I needed to be sure to include the latest GLIBC libraries, and using a base image of Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) solved this problem for me

@sandrohanea I got my application working without problems on macOS Ventura, Ubuntu 20.22 and Windows 11 ARM64.

Windows 11 on an x64 machine unfortunately fails with:

System.Exception: Failed to load native whisper library. Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

I followed all suggestions in this and the other threads except for hunting down a GLIBC since it only relates to Linux as far as I can tell.

The suggestion to use a custom loader doesn’t work with the provided code because the LoadLibraryEx method is missing a 3rd parameter and I have no idea what a valid uint dwFlags value might be. I tried 0 and 1 just to try but it didn’t work with those.

I’ve been trying the “Simple” example with version 1.4.6 of the project packages on an up-to-date install of Win 11 that has VS 2022 installed (including C++ development package).
