As far as I can tell, the call to the VC++ compiler does not include the
/clr parameter, so there should not be a .NET dependency. 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
