Issues on running GHDL with cocotb .. VPI-related about cocotb HOT 6 CLOSED

cocotb-config.exe -v
1.8.0

python --version
Python 3.11.1

from cocotb.

This is a 32-bit version. You need 32-bit python to run.

from cocotb.

I have switched to Python 3.11 32-bit, as you can see, but still getting this error message:

I think I'll switch to work on a dockerized version.

from cocotb.

I think it is related to #2030

from cocotb.

This #3378 goes in msys2 should work see: https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb/wiki/Tier-2-Setup-Instructions#windows-installation-using-msys2

The best is to use WSL probably or docker.

from cocotb.

Yes, both WSL and Docker work just fine.
