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.

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.
