Static linking in vs2010 run-time

Question

Hi

Seems a few friends of mine are having problems running my new VS2010 C++ builds, they get missing MSVCR.DLL file errors and such.

I'm thinking they need to install the run-time redistributable package, but is a bit awkward to ask that of them.

Is there any way I can build/link the binaries to help them out, ideally I'd like to make a full static link with all libraries, I just don't know the setting...

Is it enough to set "Link Library Depencies" to "No"?

 

 

Note:

I know this in neither elegant or intended, but it's the easiest from _their_ perspective, which is what counts!

Hi Sune,

 

Thanks for your post.

I think this issue is more relevant to VC++ build, and I'm going to move it to VC++ forum.

Hope you can get more information there.

Good Luck.

 

Best Regards,

Here is your most important setting:

Under Configuration Properties, C/C++, Code Generation, Runtime Library -> MultiThreaded (/MT)

In addition, if using MFC:

Configuration Properties, General, Use of MFC -> Use MFC in a Static Library

In addition, if using ATL:

Configuration Properties, Genera, Use of ATL -> Static Link to ATL
