Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package

[bzaid]

Hi,

I use some standard C++ classes in my Win32 application. Now, the
application require me to redistribute the Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable Package with my application (not just the DLLs). Now C+
+ applications require pre-installation of this packages .Is there a
method to make Visual C++ use static linking of the standard C/C++
Libraries. So I just redistribute the exe only.

Thanks

You're asking in the wrong place, try a windows programming group.

The question is not about Win32. It's about the use of the standard C++ libs
with VC++. I want to use them without depending on any DLLs.

Thanks for your reply

You need to understand that this is a question solely regarding your
particular development environment, and therefore off-topic here. You
should definitely try in the microsoft.public.vc area of groups.

Thanks and sorry.

One possible way is another compiler to build the final executable.
I do this using gcc, because for some reason VC++ requires the user to
have .NET installed even the application is console/SDL-based. As a
bonus you learn to write more portable C++ source code

1- Thanks for reply
2- I found the a solution how to statically link C/C++ Runtime
Libraries to my application in VC++:
Open project properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime
Library > and select Multi-threaded (/MT).
Native VC++ apps don’t require .NET Framework to be installed.
3- Yes, I agree with you, C++ developer must write portable code, he
should never depend on a compiler specific feature.

????? WTF?
It never happened to me. Perhaps you should review your configuration/
project settings.

Which doubtlessly explains why we had exactly the same problem
with g++ under Solaris in my last job.

The standard doesn't address the issue, but the problems
inherent with dynamic linking are pretty much the same
regardless of the platform. Don't do it unless you have to (and
can be sure that the client will have the necessary libraries,
in the versions you expect).
