Hello,
I want to know how to statically link GDIPlus.dll with VC++ application that
should be able to run on W2k machine without the existence of GDIPlus.dll on
the target machine.
Currently, when i statically link the dll and run the application on target
(W2K) machine it throws an exception saying GDIPlus.dll file not found.
Please help.

You can't statically link to a DLL.
You may be confusing the situation with the 'C' and MFC libraries
where you have the option to statically link or use the DLL - but
that's because MS supply both a static library and a DLL library.

Hello Dave,
I didn't understand the difference between static library and a Dll library.
Actually, at compile time i am specifying the GDIPlus.lib as additional
dependencies so that it is linked to the application statically at compile
time.
I have a requirement where i want to statically link the GDIPlus library to
my application and then when i port it on the target machine (W2K) it should
work with the presence of the GDIPlus.dll on the target machine.
thanks, Ramendra

What you're actually doing is implicitly linking your application to
GDIPlus.dll. The GDiPlus.lib is a library for the DLL, it's not a
static library.

Hello Dave,
How do i know if a particular dll is a static library or a dll library? Any
tool to check?

Hi Ramendra!
How do i know if a particular dll is a static library or a dll library? Any

A DLL is *always* a DLL...

I want to know how is static library different from ordinary dll (library) ?
I am not saying static library is not a dll. I want to know how do i link to
a library statically such that when i run the application on any other
machine that doesn't have the library it should work without problem.

You can check to see if a library is purely static, or just an import
library, by using the LIB tool (using LIB /LIST) to see if there are any OBJ
files in there. If there are no OBJ files then it is a pure import library.
But that won't tell you if a library is mixed (it has some import parts and
some static parts). However, by the size of the OBJ files in the lib vs
the overall size of the lib you can tell it's mixed.

For the MS04-028 Security Bulletin (GDI+) it refers Visual Studio 2003 users
to KB830348, which is the Visual Studio .NET 2003 GDIPLUS.DLL Security Update.
Does this apply to Windows XP with either SP1 or SP2? The system
requirements don't list Windows XP.
From reading the Security Bulletin I was thought it applied to Windows XP,
though it doesn't directly say so.

Hello,
I think I found a bug in VC 7.1 concerning destruction of stack

managed C++ application. Here is a repro case :
1) Build a static, unmanaged, library containing the following 2
files. Compiles with /MDd.

I have a static library that is compiled using the latest version of VC 6. It uses the multithreaded DLL versions of the run-time library, and it uses STL classes. I would like to make use of this static library in a VS .NET 2003 managed C++ project. Currently, I am just linking the compiled .lib file into my VC 7 project. (This is the simplest approach, as it is not practical to move the static library project to VC 7 at this time.) My VC...

Hi!
Please be patient with a newbie...
I use DevC++.
I've found and compiled succefully various openGL examples.
Before build the application, I link the project with static libs,
like, in example, libglut32.a.
The executables running fine, but if I try them on a system without
glut32.dll, they don't start.
