Sounds like you are using a beta version of your compiler, because the error messages are all misspelled. Alternatively, it could be because you are using MSVC 8 / Express and aren't including the Microsoft VC Runtime package. |

I'm using msvc 2005 express, and the spelling errors are because my friend cant spell very good. Is there a way to statically link the Microsoft VC Runtime Package? or a way to build the program so it doesn't need them? ---------- |

Yes! Use mingw!

any ideas what those 3rd party libraries are ---------- |

I'm referring to any 3rd party libraries that you might be using, such as AllegroGL, FBlend, DUMB, etc... |

They do not come with static runtimes. There are 12 versions of Allegro for MSVC:
The binaries only include the first six, but he will want the 10th version on the list. |

Just out of curiosity; what is the difference between for example 4 and 10?

External dependence on the C Runtime. |

if you can stick with static for everything, it will lead to less end-user headaches ___________________________ |

You have to completely rebuild the alleg_s.lib file. |

You have to use the static runtime flag. |

you'll have to forgive my newbyness, but what's the static runtime flag? ---------- |

have you COMPLETELY read the /docs/html/build/[my_compiler].html ? Quote:
make install DEBUGMODE STATICLINK and DEBUGMODE are not different sides of a coin, they are different attributes of a build. ___________________________ |

yep, i've read it, and i've make installed all the ones the doc said to, and right now im linking with alleg_s.lib and i get the error. Am i missing a lib? ---------- |

How many times do I have to say that STATICRUNTIME and STATICLINK are not the same things? fix msvc8 --msvcpaths make STATICRUNTIME=1 STATICLINK=1 make install STATICRUNTIME=1 STATICLINK=1 After this is finished, I would rename the new alleg_s.lib to something else like alleg_s_srt.lib. |

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." thats the error. Also before i was compiling with runtime library Multi-threaded DLL (stupid me) but after changing it to just Multi-Threaded i got errors like this. 1>alleg_s.lib(allegro.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__sprintf EDIT: thank you Matthew, but after doing that i still get errors like the following 1>alleg_srt.lib(allegro.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__sprintf (i cant believe im having so much trouble...) ---------- |
