libifcoremdd.dll dependency

[cfann61]

I have a .dll(mtrx.dll) and an .exe which is dependent on it. How can I get rid of the dependency on libifcoremdd.dll, libifcorertd.dll, libifportmd.dll, libmmd.dll, libmmdd.dll, mfc71d.dll, msvcp71d.dll, and msvcr71d.dll?

I want to be able to run the .exe with mtrx.dll alone, without having all the others involved. Is that possible?

When you build mtrx.dll and the .exe, specify the multithreaded libraries with the /MT option instead of the /MD option. You will not completely eliminate dependencies on system DLLs, but at least the Intel compiler DLLs libif*.DLL will not be needed.

Alternatively, you may ask your users/customers to install the free Intel redistributables package.

With older versions of the Windows SDK and VC, it was possible to use static, single-threaded libraries, but those libraries are no longer provided.

Perhaps I'm putting /MT in the wrong place. I'm using VS .NET 2003. I went to Properites->Fortran->Command Line. That is where I inserted the /MT. When I try to run the .exe, it's still looking for libif*.dll.

It would be better to find the properties>libraries page selection, if there was such in VS2003, which specifically (in release mode) selects /MD (default for C++) or /MT (should be default for ifort). In a multiple project build, you must make them consistent throughout. If you are trying to remove dependency on debug libraries, use release mode throughout.
