libstdc++-6.dll is missing?

EDIT: This has now been fixed - Pass "-static-libstdc++" in the linker options to avoid needing the .dll

Hi, I have just re-installed windows with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and installed Code::Blocks 10.05. I then installed MingW from their website so that I have the latest copy but...

I now get this error when trying to run the Executable. With Code::Blocks that comes with MingW all set up I do not get this error.

{"name":"604092","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/a\/eaeea2cfff56553ab619d195a67481d2.png","w":445,"h":70,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/a\/eaeea2cfff56553ab619d195a67481d2"}604092

Is there a linker option I should know about as this is the first time me setting up my coding environment this way.

Edit: Fixed Code::Blocks version since I wrote it wrong. ;D

You could follow these instructions to see if you did something wrong.

Thanks Edgar, That will help people that are coding in C instead :)

Note that adding -static-libstdc++ will add a good 3.2MB to your app/dll (and -static-libgcc, to avoid libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll, adds another 100KB or so). If you're using multiple mingw-built dlls and exes, it may be better to use and provide the dynamic dlls.

I already use -s and my executable is only 728KB atm. That just sets up allegro opens a window loads a bitmap and displays it twice.

Edit: Updated the size because I wrote it as 8KB. ;D

When I pass "-static-libstdc++" and "-s" to the compiler, I will get a smaller 'distribution version' ?! That's nice to know :) Maybe I can static link all of those MinGW dll's...

I static linked all the ones it complains is missing so all my game needs is the media and the exe :P
