When I ship this program to a friend or other people, “it doesn’t work” because “some DLL” is missing. This is of course because the program can find the DLL … Read more

This warning: LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib ‘MSVCRT’ conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library is a fairly common warning in Visual Studio. I’d like to understand the exact reason for it and the right way (if at all) to handle it. This comes up in a debug build, compiled with /MDd. The project … Read more
I know very little about DLL’s and LIB’s other than that they contain vital code required for a program to run properly – libraries. But why do compilers generate them at all? Wouldn’t it be easier to just include all the code in a single executable? And what’s the difference between DLL’s and LIB’s? 5 … Read more
