I have a simple c++ program I just wrote with VC 6.0. I want to run this program on another machine, but it just locks up. What do I need to do to run the .exe file that is created in the debug folder on a different system?
thanks

Well, do you have the development environment installed on the other
machine? Debug builds often use debug DLLs, if those DLLs are not present
the application should not run. I don't know why you have a lockup - perhaps
it is DLL hell (mismatch of application and DLL).
Note that I am specifically not addressing licensing issues - only you know
how many machines are licensed to run the compiler in your shop.

Yes, by building a release version. You will still need to deploy the
correct run time dlls though is you have selected the dynamic CRT or MFC,
but the release files you can legally redistribute.

I do not have the development enviornment on the other machine. Is that
my only option to get this program running on that machine? Can I build
an executable that doesn't rely on debug dlls?
Thanks

what do you mean by a simple application? Do you use MFC or any other
FrameWork or is it a place simple console application.
If you use frameworks like MFC then you would require to build the
application in release mode and then use it on the target machine. If you
use debug build then your application might use the debug versions of the
dll like say MFC42D.DLL for MFC4.2 instead or MFC42.DLL. Dubug dlls are not
present on systems which does not have development tools like VC++
installed.
However, if the above case were true then you should not have got lockups in
your application. You should have seen popup error messages telling you that
the dll was not found. Try eliminating other problems like uninitialized
variables, eliminate all warning in your build and other similar things.

Hi, all. I'm working on an application which requires communicating

confirmed that's the mode used by both web apps.

It also claims functionality on linux, as a bonus (I didn't test this). I highly recommend the UPX options, and will cover how to get it...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
