Hello, I am planning to release a program on CD-ROM, and I am wondering if there's a proper way to install the dependencies. The program depends on several cygwin dlls, including cygwin1.dll.
>From what I've read on the lists, it seems to be poor practice to install a >private copy of cygwin1.dll, for fear of possible version mismatches. But the >alternative is not very nice either: to have the user install the Cygwin >platform by himself/herself. Windows users cannot do this; they demand easy >installers that do all the work for them, especially the kind with big blue >gradient backgrounds :-D Also, it seems a bit overkill to install a complete cygwin system, when all I really need is a handful of dlls. The full list is: Cygfreetype-6.dll Cygiconv-2.dll Cygogg-0.dll Cygpng12.dll Cygvorbis-0.dll Cygvorbisfile-3.dll Cygwin1.dll Cygxml2-2.dll Cygz.dll Do you have any suggestions on how to automate the installation of these files, without risking version mismatches?
