Required Dlls

[Camouflage]

I've made a very simple application and sent it over to somebody else to try out and use. However they required 3 .dlls files to use it. I already had these in my Windows/System dir, but he didn't. I'm using 98se and his using ME.

How can I tell what .dll files are required by the application? There could be more than 3 required - this was just his case.

Besides simply attaching them with the .exe (which would send the file size skyrocketing) what else can you do? Like I said this was a very basic application and it's not very good if I have to attach 2mb of dlls with a 35kb application

Thanks

This explains it for v6.0 - it says use Depends.exe, but I'm using 5.0.

Can you build them in with the program somehow?
Basically any file I've made during the 1st week of the c++ in 21 days tutorial can't even be used by someone else without these dll files too. How come I have downloaded dozens of files of which many don't have any dlls attached with them.

Hope somebody can take the time to explain that for me

Lmao ok got it worked out now thanks to a friend.
Simply start a project with statically linked library - not shared dlls. Now you'd think that would have been mentioned when you build your 1st project.
