Building a Release?This should not be a difficult question, but I don't know how to do it.
I'm using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I'm programming in Microsoft Visual C++. My doubt is: once that I've written a program (I've run that program in the Debug mode) and I want to create a release version. What should I do? I just want to create a program to be recorded in a CD and so, it could be executed from the CD or it could be executed in other computer by copying all the files from that CD. Is it possible? Thanks and sorry for that silly question  |

Re: Building a Release?I think that the problem is that I don't know how to create the .pch file, cos I've an error that says: "Cannot open precompiled header file"
According to a readme that I've found: StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file named Win32.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj. But how should I use those files? |

Re: Building a Release?Just a last question... if now I took my release to a different computer, it should work there, shouldn't it?
So, I've done that. But the release seems not to do anything.  I think it is because the other computer doesn't have the Microsoft Visual C++ installed. Is it because of that? or why??? |

Re: Building a Release?Quote:
The other computer doesn't have to have the compiler or IDE installed. I am guessing you are trying to build a plain C++ application (unmanaged code), right? If you are using MFC, then there are some dlls that the other computer should have installed in system32. If it doesn't, you'll have to statically link to the MFC dlls, thus importing all the relevant code into your executable file. This will greatly increase the size of your application, but it will run on any computer running some sort of Windows (or almost  ).Quote:
You will have to offer o better explanation here. What is it supposed to do (as in what does it do on your computer)? What does it do? Does it generate an error, maybe? What error? Once you'll describe your problem more accurately, we will be able to offer you better help. Kind regards, Lucian __________________

Re: Building a Release?Sorry, I don't know if the previous post is easily understandable or not. I wrote the following in the previous post (but it is inside the quote):
---------------------------------------- Can you explain me how to do that??? I don't care if the program is big, but I want that it works! I mean, I click on the .exe file, but it doesn't do anything! It should open a window with my program. Thanks again |

Go to the Project Properties, select the General property from the left pane (it should be selected by default), and look at the Use of Mfc property in the right pane. Make sure it is set to Use MFC in a Static Library. However, if it "doesn't do anything", I am not sure this is the problem. I suggest you make a simple program that prints something on the screen and then pausses the output, and run it on both computers. See how that goes. Best regards, Lucian __________________

Thanks a lot, I've tried it. And I've tried to run the program in a third computer... but again, nothing. I really don't know what's happening. If I run the application in my computer, I can see the window to interact with my camara and everything goes perfectly. But when I try to run it in a different computer: in the initial moment, I see in the task manager that there is a process with the name of my application, but it disappears quite fast and the main window doesn't open. If you have any further idea, i'll be very happy to hear from you. Anyway, thank you very much for your great help |

Re: Building a Release?You should go through your program and add error handling and unexpected results handling. You said something about a camera, so in your code you probably initiate some driver or interface, check the result of those initiations and other functions which may fail.
