I've been working on a newer build of GEM for Windows using VS 2003. On certain machines the following error occurs when attempting to load Gem.dll:
This application has failed to start because MSVCO71.dll was not found. We usually purchase Dell machine here and they all have this DLL installed but the Shuttle that arrived yesterday does not. MS states that it is part of the C++ runtime library. I have not found anything in the build settings which explicitly mentions this DLL so it must be a part of some lib or API. Here's what I link into GEM:
You propably used /MD or /MDd compiler option, which "enables" dynamic link with msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll. To make a static build you should use /MT (or /MTd in case of debug builds) compiler flag. More on the subject: http://tinyurl.com/q20a
