Link dependent libraries together withe the main EXE file

[EdgarBM]

Hi, I need to know how can I link together all the dependent libraries of an EXE file in the way to only carry the EXE file betwen computers (not a special installation file but the same EXE with the libraries within). Anybody knows how to arrange this simple problem? Thanks in advance. Edgar :confused: Edgar Berengena Moreno Software Engineer La Salle University, URL. Barcelona, Spain.

Anybody knows how to arrange this simple problem? IMHO this is no simple problem at all, if you're referring to linked DLLs. For MFC and the C run-time library, you can choose static linking, which produces an EXE that does not depend on the MFC and C run-time DLLs. As for other DLLs, I guess the closest you can get to what you want (without getting into a real mess) is having a packed installation EXE like those produced by InstallShield and similar products.

Hi, First of all thank you for your reply. I've been searching information on static linking, but I couldn't find how to do it. Do you know which is the way?, that's the solution I need... Thank you again. Edgar Edgar Berengena Moreno Software Engineer La Salle University, URL. Barcelona, Spain.

MFC: Project->Settings->General tab->Microsoft Foundation Classes combobox. C run-time library: Project->Settings->C/C++->Category:Code Generation->Use run-time library combobox. Un saludo, suerte con el proyecto. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Gracias! ...no era tan difícil! (la próxima vez no me saltaré la pestaña de General tan a la brava). Gracias otra vez por el esfuerzo. Edgar Edgar Berengena Moreno Software Engineer La Salle University, URL. Barcelona, Spain.
