(Sorry for a very late response, maybe it still may help you) First I have to admit that I didn't try free MS toolchain since the time I wrote the email describing how I built classlib with it. At that time I thought that current free toolchain provided by MS is not really suitable and switched completely to Linux. I think many things could have changed in classlib but I assure you that all I had installed was Visual Studio Express and Platform SDK, not even MASM because it was not available by that time. > If I run first the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows > Server 2003 R2\SetEnv.cmd" /XP32 command and then the > "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" I can > build all of classlib, but invoking deploy\jdk\jre\bin\java gives me the > dreaded "Cannot find MSVCR8.DLL" dialogue box. The library "MSVCR80.dll" is installed in windows\system directory for me so it has to be accessible to any applications. This is what objdump -x shows to me for java.exe compiled on uh... June 06... it's been quite a while since I actually used windows toolchain for classlib. > I tried looking around on the net for information how to fix this, and > changing -MD to -MT did not change anything. All this with manifests > and dll is very strange to me so I'm giving up on that for the moment. I can understand you, I am not a big windows expert myself. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
