Distribute SDL Win App

SDL Development
1

Whats the easiest/best way to distribute a SDL-Win32-App (using msvc6)?

The App should run under W98,ME,XP,NT,2K.

The problem for me are msvcrt.dll and msvcp60.dll (I am using C++).

I have checked google and the easiest solution seems to provide copies
of msvcrt.dll and msvcp60.dll in the application directory (where the exe
and all the other sdl etc. dlls resides).
Then, depending on the os-configuration/setup, either system or local
versions of the dlls should be used.

Would this work?
Which versions of these DLLs should I use?
Currently I am using the versions from msvc6-svp5. ok?

If possible, I would like to prevent to install dlls in the system directories
on the target systems.

How are the SDL-W32 developer handling this?

Thanks,
Thomas

It should be fine, just include them in the application directory,
don’t install them on the system.

See ya!
