Compiling without needing DLL's

[Grimes]

hi can someone please help me, i'm trying to make a game, but when i run the exe on other computers it gives errors about dll's that are needed. Is there a way to compile a program without having to also copy those dlls ? KOM UIT DAAAAA!!!

Yes there is. But you need to have access to all of the original source files that produce the DLLs. If you have access to that, then you need to create new projects that are STATIC LIBRARY instead of DYNAMIC LIBRARY projects. Put the source files into those new projects and compile them to produce the static library. When you compile the EXE project, instead of linking with the .lib file in the DYNAMIC LIBRARY project, you now link with the .lib file in the STATIC LIBRARY project. Chris Meech I am Canadian.
