I originally had winmode=0 in there before But concedo didn't want it in there since it could have unintended effects, and he added this instead, but when I tested it, I might have had the .dll and /rocblas/ residually in my folder still accidentally and didn't catch it not working:

    if os.name=='nt':
        os.add_dll_directory(dir_path)
        os.add_dll_directory(abs_path)
        os.add_dll_directory(os.getcwd())

I think adding your code would be a good addition; I'll just have to switch over to Windows later today and test it out first. Thanks!

Hello; thanks for merging this in. I had tested it earlier this week and found it built nicely for me and created a new kobold hipblas dll file which was actually a different filesize than the one in the precompiled executable that I was previously using.

I had hoped this new dll was the solution I was looking for since I assumed my problems were due to not having a properly built dll for gfx1032… but unfortunately it still gives me the exact same error as before. When selecting my model in the UI and then running, it errors when trying to load/use the dll and seems to be unhappy with the ctype stuff. I’m afraid I don’t know enough to say why that might be the case or even what the ctype stuff is. Any suggestions?

I’m using win 10, have rocblas installed, and trying to run with my radeon rx 6600 (gfx1032). I got kobold working in Ubuntu (although oddly enough still no luck with llama.cpp which is confusing since I believe kobold is built with that), but no luck in Windows yet unfortunately.

Also: apologies for sneaking my comment into the merged PR here… I didn’t see a more appropriate place to leave it. Thanks for your work on expanding support to those of us using Windows with AMD GPUs. It is very much appreciated!
