Hi Jamal. I'll compile it on monday or tuesday as I have a family event during the week end and unfortunately cannot spare the time. I'll do it during lunch time in my office. Cheers! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx>

Also, since I think Octavian has .NET installed, the program should be able to find the .NET dependency if that were true, especially if the .manifest file is in the same directory. I suspect (though am not sure) that the dependency is on a file in the Windows platform SDK that I installed, and perhaps Octavian did not. If you are referring to another , earlier message thread in which Will posted about this problem, I could not find it via Google. Marlon, what C++ compilers do you use? Do you use any free ones or know how to use them? Can you help me compile the Wx source code with MinGW or Borland C++ Builder so that it is a single, self-standing executable (whatever the size)? The complete source code is in the cwx_fruit.cpp file within the archive at http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/cwx_fruit.zip Jamal On Fri, 30 Nov 2007, Marlon Brandão de Sousa wrote:

Vc .net 2005 uses a kind of manifest to link to the right version of the C crt, a kind of (personal thought here) ridiculous thing ms did to try to avoid dll hell ... and you have to embed this manifest in your executable or redistribute it with your software. I don't know how to do it, but Will Pearson talked about this some time ago in this list.
