There is no simple answer 🙂 Libcurl depends on other third party libs (it depends on binary distribution that you are using). As you get rid of DLL – you’ll have to link with corresponding third parties manually. Ok, so the first point is that you should not link to libcurl.lib as it binds you … Read more
You can use PowerShell to get the information you want. (Get-Item C:\Path\To\MyFile.dll).VersionInfo By default this will display ProductVersion and FileVersion But the full VERSIONINFO is available. I.e. to return Comments (Get-Item C:\Path\To\MyFile.dll).VersionInfo.Comments
Published builds (static / dynamic) on [GitHub]: CristiFati/Prebuilt-Binaries – (master) Prebuilt-Binaries/LibJPEG. Like almost all of the nowadays software, LibJPEG is also hosted on [GitHub]: winlibs/libjpeg – libjpeg-9b. I downloaded it from both places, did a comparison and only few minor differences (out of which none in the source code) popped up. I’m going to explain … Read more
I was having the same problem. Turned out I was missing the ./Views/Web.config file, because I created the project from an empty ASP.NET application instead of using an ASP.NET MVC template. For ASP.NET MVC 5, a vanilla ./Views/Web.config file contains the following: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <!– https://stackoverflow.com/a/19899269/178082 –> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name=”system.web.webPages.razor” type=”System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, … Read more
Yes, this is perfectly possible. You just expose the components written in 4.0 as COM objects. The 2.0 hosting application just uses them as COM objects and has no idea whether they are native, 2.0, 4.0 or whatever. COM is the common interface that both runtime versions have to implement identically. The new in-process SxS … Read more
The problem is likely you try to register a 32-bit library with 64-bit version of regsvr32. See this KB article – you need to run regsvr32 from windows\SysWOW64 for 32-bit libraries.
I wrote a small Python module for calling into Windows DLLs from Python on Linux. It is based on IPC between a regular Linux/Unix Python process and a Wine-based Python process. Because I have needed it in too many different use-cases / scenarios myself, I designed it as a “generic” ctypes module drop-in replacement, which … Read more
dumpbin is a tool that comes with VC++. To see what DLLs a program will import: Open Visual Studio Menu Item Tools | Visual Studio Command prompt cd to folder containing executable dumpbin /dependents whatever.exe Dump of file whatever.exe File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE Image has the following dependencies: AIOUSB.DLL sqlite3.dll wxmsw293u_core_vc_custom.dll wxbase293u_vc_custom.dll KERNEL32.dll ole32.dll OLEAUT32.dll … Read more
Edit: As explained by Bob, this answer describes the Alternate Search Order, which is not what most applications would see. The full rules are quite complex. I don’t think I can summarize them here. Instead, read the Microsoft docs – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-order My original answer was: This MSDN article explains the default search order. I quote: … Read more
There are static libraries (LIB) and dynamic libraries (DLL) – but note that .LIB files can be either static libraries (containing object files) or import libraries (containing symbols to allow the linker to link to a DLL). Libraries are used because you may have code that you want to use in many programs. For example … Read more
