Freeing an executable from .dll on netbeans

Mar 28, 2011 at 10:44pm
Hello all,

I was making an executable, as normal, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn't find the cygwin.dll. I know why, because it was on a different computer without cygwin installed. I use netbeans to create my projects, and I was wondering how to "tell" cygwin to create an executable for a machine that doesn't run the DLL file. I'm also considering going back to Visual C++. I've already "done my homework" and that has yielded no results whatsoever...

You probably don't need to install the cygwin.dll but to copy it to the working directory (normally where the .exe resides).

You can switch to Visual C++ but then you need dll's as well and even a manifest (not on all systems though).

Thank you, and I'll try that.
