Title: Strange error when running my program
Post by: igdegoo on December 28, 2017, 05:53:08 pm: (http://i.cubeupload.com/kjofwE.png)
I have no idea why this pops up.
When I run in the Code::Blocks editor it runs fine, but when I run the .EXE from the file explorer I get that message.
I am using MinGW compiler.

I can post the source code if it is required.

What is dependency walker?

thanks, it works now
do you know how to compile it without it requiring all these DLLs?

I suggest asking on a site the supports the compiler.
The normal way is to use static library instead of a shared/DLL library.

Or the site that supports the library. You don't tell us what library so we can not say how to link it statically

The reason you get this error is because your exe-file cannot find the necessary dynamic link libraries. You either have to include these in the same folder as the exe-file, or you can specify that all libraries should be statically linked to the exe-file, so the application contains just one file:

File > Project > Build options... > Select application name > Linker settings > Other linker options > -static
