Hi all,

Ruby 1.6.8
Windows XP Pro
exerb 2.6.7

I recently was able to successfully build an exe on my own XP Pro box and it
worked fine. This application includes Ruby packages that are C extensions.
I gave it to a co-worker to test on his XP Pro box and he got this error:

"This application has failed to start because MSVCR70.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem".

Now, I do have VC++ 7 on this box, and I'm assuming that's where the dll
came from. My question is, why does it need this dll? Is it because of the
C extensions? Or did I build it badly? Is there a way around this or will
I simply have to distribute the dll with the exe file as part of a
distribution?

Any and all help appreciated.

Regards,

Dan

msvcr*.dll and msvcrt.dll are the runtime libraries for windows.
You either redistribute them, link statically or do it with VC++6.0
whose runtime is in all installations of Win98 or later.
I don't know anythign about exerb (something I need to rectify), but
check to see if it will allow you to built statically.
Cheers,
