IIRC with MSVC 2008 it is required that the DLL/EXE using the MSVCRT DLLs needs to embed some crazy XML manifest, because the 2008 MSVCRT DLLs are installed in some non-default location, not in the usual search paths; this is different with MSVC 2010/2012 where the redistributatble installs the DLLs into a default search path. relevant bits in the LO build system are: - passing "-manifestfile:mydll.manifest" to the link.exe so it writes the manifest to the file - "mt.exe $(MTFLAGS) -nologo -manifest mydll.manifest -outputresource:mydll.dll\;2" to get the manifest file into the DLL ... and if you want to know why that is so ridiculously complicated (why can't link.exe just put in the manifest into the DLL itself) you have to use Microsoft. or speaking of that, why do applications need to bundle the libc in the first place... i hope with the above info it should be possible to get a DLL that loads with the user installed 2008 redistributable. or you can rebuild it with 2010 compiler. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
