Windows XP Support?

[bekker]

I compiled an app and ran it on win xp, and dwmapi.dll missing error pops up. Simply putting the dll from the windows vista won't help, other errors follow. It's related with some composite window checks, I think.

Is it because of one of the dependencies - like winapi, or could it be fixed inside glutin??

I know xp is an ancient, unsupported os, but as long as the graphic driver support it, I'd like to see apps running on wide range of platforms.

I modified transparency-related code and removed dwmapi dependency, but now I get

thread panicked while processing panic. aborting.

Broken panic is due to rust-lang/rust/issues/34538
I debugged using gdb, and figured std::sync::mpsc:channel is the one in glutin::api::win32::init::new_window.
I guess it cannot be fixed until rust supports proper cond vars for xp
