It would be a matter of reconfiguring the make file/project to create static libs. They might provide a configuration to do that. I haven't gotten into mingw, so can't tell you.Originally Posted by patrik08
Not sure what you mean by 'portable'. If the systems are configured identically, one exe should work on all, but you may have to pull over the extra pieces, like dlls, etc., if the .exe is not fully resolved on its own.You think Borland Compiler is Better to make portable exe .....? or Other Window compiler....
Back in the old days, we used to have hot debates about Borland vs. Microsoft. In the end, we wound up with the Microsoft compiler, because we knew that's what the OS was built with, what Windows was built with, and we wouldn't have any compatibility issues, especially with kits like MFC. And MS was naturally ahead of the curve on anything Windows.
Since you're using mingw, it shouldn't matter, frankly. (I presume you're not using the cygwin mingw, which brings in whole other issues.)
I'm using the MS compiler, because I still have to use MS toolkits.
