Why official Binary releases don't need mingwmxxx.dll to run?
« on: April 01, 2025, 12:28:25 pm »
Windows
I downloaded codeblocks-25.03-nosetup.zip  and found out that there are no libstdc++-6.dll   libwinpthread-1.dll libgcc_s_seh-1.dll in it.They are not in the PATH either , but C::B still worked.  Obviously a nightly build needs those.
What's the difference bewteen  a Binary release and a Nightly build?
Is it  possible that I build a Binary release myself ? 
Thanks.

I downloaded codeblocks-25.03-setup.exe and the dll's are also not include and it also works.

The difference is that the release is linked statically against those. Everything else is exactly the same. This imposes restrictions w/ the license but since we are FOSS that's not an issue.
