Windows is missing a central repository for shared libraries. Let me take my own package purest_json as an example: - - I can tell Linux users to install liboauth, libcurl, and json-c, because it is available in central repositories for all distributions. - - I compile these dependencies (and their dependencies) in the resulting dlls, because there is no user-friendly way to tell users to download the dlls. - - I do not know how to do it in Mac OS X, but as far as I can tell from pull requests that I have merged, it is more like on Windows than on Linux.
