I already tried to find some information about it on internet and seems you are right. But interesting is that binary linked to msvcr90.dll is working fine without providing any manifest resource file. So either mingw-w64 must do some "magic" to workaround this problem for MSVCR90 or those manifest files are needed only sometimes and not always. So problem is only with 80, not 90. Anyway, that error message is issued by msvcr80.dll library itself, so I think it could be possible to do some link-time workaround in mingw-w64 or gcc to make msvcr80.dll happy. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
