Compiling and running problems

[TomasBerrojalviz]

Hello, I wanted to consult my problems. If I try to compile using make it fails. If I use a pc with visual studio and compile it there it works. But if I run the .exe in another pc, it asks me for some dll that the pc already has idk. It seems that it only works with vs. If there is a way that it works without the vs please could you help me

Hi Tomas,

can you please send me the error message when you try to compile it with make? It works on my environment when using MSYS2.

Regarding VS: every compiler comes with its own set of dependencies and dll's. I think for the case of visual studio you need to install vcredist on the target machine (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)

Also, even if you compile it with make/MSYS2 the *.exe still has some dll dependencies... In my opinion the easiest solution is just to copy the *.exe to your target machine, try to execute it and copy all the dll files one-by-one from the build machine to the target machine. The dll's can be placed in the folder where the exe file is. Attention: The build and target machine need to have the same architecture (32-but vs 64-bit)

Best Regards
Thomas
