Support Requests item #425488, was updated on 2001-05-19 12:22 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=425488&group_id=2435 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Wirawan Purwanto (wirawan0) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: libstdc++.dll required? Initial Comment: I just downloaded the newest GCC (MinGW) version 2.95.2-3 (2001-03-29). And in the change log (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php? release_id=29064) I found the following sentences which bother me: "Shared libstdc++ provided. This means that C++ apps will be linked against it by default and depend on bin/libstdc++.dll" I have been looking around the MinGW website all day and could not find any more hint than this (found in SourceForge). It seems to me that the new EXE files (compiled with the new compiler under new configurations) will depend on this file (libstdc++.dll) by default. Although I have not yet checked the licensing of this file, this "feature" seems to be a "problem" to me. I want my EXE to be independent of any .DLL (except the MS runtime DLLs, which we can't avoid unless we want to make the EXE giant). Isn't this the "spirit" of the MinGW from the beginning (at least so in my understanding)? Could you explain why this new "feature" is made default? Also, how to remove the dependency of libstdc++.dll for the produced EXE's? Thanks, Wirawan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=425488&group_id=2435 |
