When i distributed application compiled with visual studio i installed on pc the visual studio distribution pack, with all the necessary library.
What about dev c++?
what do i have to do to make my dev c++ compiled application to run on a pc?
Could you help?
i anwer by myself.
No, it's not necessary any distribution pack.
Just the library used in the project.
Keep in mind, depending on the library you link,
you may have requirements for distribting your source code by way of the GPL requirements.

The MinGW/GCC compiler uses Microsoft's VC++ 6 runtime library which is installed with Windows so does not need to be distributed. Current versions of VC++ require newer runtime libraries that are not part of the OS so need to be distributed.
Similarly the Win32 API is provided as part of a Windows installation (obviously). However if you use third party libraries you may need to distribute other components if they are implemented as DLLs. Another issue is that if you compile with the -mthreads option, you will need to distribute mingwm10.dll, but you only need that for thread safe exception handling so when using both threads and exceptions (I think).
