Only remember that there is no compatibility guarantee between the different sources of binaries. You will also probably skip on a few things but that's mostly symlinks, possibly shortcuts and other aspects which are rarely vital to the package. > Also, using a sample size of 1 it appears all your 32 and 64bit binaries > link to `msvcrt.dll` (when applicable) rather than linking to the version > specific DLLs. Is this true? I try to change as little things as possible. This means you get whichever behaviour upstream chose. So far this has held well except for libpng and SDL (which, even though it is a library, messes up with stdout and stderr) and which cause integration issues. Most of my tests have been on Windows 7. Windows XP is becoming less and less common. However, if you have compatibility issues, let me know and I'll see if and how they can be fixed. -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
