Clearly I must not understand what's going on, perhaps you can clear this up for me.
Say I have 10 different favorite Gtkmm apps that I really want to install on my Windows machine, because they are great pieces of software. So I go download all 10 of them and install them, and each one follows your recommendation of putting the libs next to the app. So then I have 10 copies of the libs, and when I start up the apps I get 10 copies of them in memory? (The question mark is because I don't know if that is true with how dll's work, do they check memory even when the loaded lib is from a different location on disk?) So why provide a run-time installer at all then? I mean, unless you intend for developers to say "The gtkmm runtime is a pre-req" and have them go download it, or provide that utility in their installer, then why provide it at all? Shouldn't a developer version that they can take the libs from and distribute themselves be enough in that case? I'm trusting that you have good reasons, you are clearly a dedicated developer and knowledgeable person, but I just can't understand it yet. - John Hobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
