Title: program without mingw.dll
Post by: dirk_1980 on April 11, 2013, 12:30:54 pm

Hi,

is it possible to build a program without using the mingw.dll?

I will link / include the dll inside my program.

Sure - there is no reason for apps compiled with MinGW GCC to use that DLL at all, though this has nothing to do with Code::Blocks.

If i use threads than i need the stupid DLL.

Long time ago i was using DEV-C++ and all my programs didn't used this DLL.
But now i use Code::Blocks an i can't see the switch to build without this DLL.

AFAIK it is not required - see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27601321 and the version of MinGW GCC I use (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/)  does not even ship with it.

So my version of mingw is to old. No problem.

Do you know witch version  is used in the Code::Blocks Setup with mingw?

Should i use the Code::Blocks Setup with mingw or should i install just a new version of mingw from their homepage?

GCC 3.4.5 is just 6 years old and is still working.

I will use the Code::Blocks Setup the 4.7.1 is about 5 years newer than the installed version!

Not related to Code::Blocks. Locking topic.

Ask in a MinGW related forum. We don't support compiler (MinGW) related question here as we don't develop this compiler. So we cannot seriously answer such questions.
