mfc dll

[peter ho]

Hi I wrote a dialog based program using mfc. When I run it from another computer, the program indicates "can not find mfc42.dll, mfc042.dll....." Does anyone know how to compile the program so that these dll files will be included? thanks

Project / Settings / General change Microsoft Foundation Classes to the "Use MFC in a static library" option. -c

I think you can create a setup package. I am I,Who is who,I am who,Who am I

It depends on the version of VC you have - Standard will not allow you to bind statically, although I believe there are articles about on how to do that anyhow. In any case, the alternative is to ship the dll's.

Win98, Win2000) ? what I really mean, is there a good way to know if your program will work on a certain OS. for example, say I write a program using Visual C++ 6 (MFC), will it run on Win95,98,2000 without shipping the mfcXXX.dlls ? TIA

I don't believe they are ever shipped, but they are often there. You simply cannot count on them though, I learned that with the first release of viewbuild. You need to also find out if you use any C run time functions, if you do, you need msvcrt*.dll as well.
