DLLs

P

Przemek

Hi,

I have a problem. I am not very familiar with the DLL under Windows
environment. I know they are used in order to reduce file size under
Windows. But there is one disadventage when using it: once the exe
file is copied on another machine it cannot be executed when it does
not have the DLL somwhere in the path environment. But is there a way
to link the DLL file statically with the exe file so that it can be
executed on another machine without having to copy the DLL file?

Thanks a lot for help,

Cheers

The C++ language, the only topic here, does not define or support
DLLs. These are an extension provided by your operating system, not
the language, so they are off-topic here.

You need to ask in a group like
or one of Microsoft's support
groups in the family. It is not a language
issue.
