[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54199] Win32 MXE error "The procedure entry point CancelIoEx could not be located in kernel32.dll"

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #54199 (project octave):

After doing some searching, it appears that this function is not available in
XP.  Also, I think you mean CancelIoEx?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/cancelioex-func

I don't think we use it directly, but it appears to be used in Qt, both in the
5.11 version we are now using in mxe-octave and also the 5.7 version we were
using before that.

The switch to 5.11 was done a week ago, so maybe that is what caused the
problem?  If so, why wasn't this a problem with 5.7?  Although there seem to
have been some changes in the code that uses this function, it was still used
in Qt 5.7, so I don't know why it wasn't a problem earlier.

I don't see any obvious recent changes to Octave that would be responsible for
us now requiring this function.
