Yes, that's the current plan. I'm looking for a way to automate the build to copy those deps alongside the user executable without needing new env vars or hardcoded paths that make the build too tweaky. For example, let's say I build by pulling the MinGW-w64 toolchain and friends onto PATH like PATH=C:\Devkit-w64\bin;C:\Devkit-w64\mingw\bin;... in which MSYS and others live in C:\Devkit-w64\bin and key MinGW-w64 artifacts live in C:\Devkit-w64\mingw\bin. I'd like the build process (non-make running on Windows) to be able to reach into C:\Devkit-w64\mingw\bin (in this specific case, not generally) and copy dep DLLs as part of an install/package step by cajoling gcc (or something else in MinGW-w64) into telling me where it's running from (e.g. - `gcc -print-search-dirs`), easily parsing it's output, and building up the DLL paths for use by `cp`. I was hoping someone may have come across a clever solution to something similar. Or an easier way of looking at it ;) Jon --- blog: http://jonforums.github.com/ twitter: @jonforums "Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination." - Mark Twain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
