One possibility: link statically. > Are we set up > to install that in our distributables? We have to supply these along with distributables. Either use a redistributable installer or install it as a SxS assembly. (Write a manifest and put it in a properly named subfolder). > Is such an arrangement GPL > compatible? Yes. See Clause 2: ... If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.... > I know other projects have had to deal with this issue, > but don't know the details. > > It does strike me as simpler to just use the older compiler. > MSVCRT71.dll isn't supplied by WIndows XP (even SP2) either. Please try yourself with a fresh windows XP without drivers. Olaf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
