Surely it should be optional, but now this option simply doesn't exist :-( > You should fix your Makefiles to pull > the *.dll files you need from the mingw package and ship them if you are > sure your target users don't have them. At least that's what I'm doing. This of course works with executables but if you're distributing a .dll things get much worse. In my experience customers just hate the fact that in addition to your .dll they also need a bunch of dependency .dlls. And even if they accept this, they start making all possible mistakes which eats enormous amount of time. _______________________________________________ fedora-mingw mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw
