Hello,

I have a program that uses X11/Motif and runs fine, within Cygwin/X on the PC it was compiled on.

What is the *minimum* required set of Cygwin libs and any other files I need to distribute along with, it to end-users who may just have Windows (and not Cygwin) installed?

I appreciate your help.

"ldd " on my program gives these dependencies listed below:

thanks

Hello,

You can tell GCC to statically compile your binaries. However I usually
only do this for very simple programs that do not have many dependencies.
With complicated dependency chains it is possible to get to a place where
library X or Y *demands* dynamic loading and you are left trying to gather
the libraries.

To gather the libraries you can parse the output of ldd. I think there is
another program that will print out a dependency *tree* that is harder to
to parse but has options that generate more easily machine readable.

I have used the above for a ramdisk based system. It was easier than
statically compiling everything. I lost the code I think or I'd pass it
along.


Also consider installing Cygwin on the target system. It is a more
realistic solution even for automated deployments.

Cheers,
    R0b0t1

I'm reasonably sure that that minimum set would effectively have to be
an actual Cygwin installation.  You'll need an X server, and that
requires a pretty complete Unix tool environment.

And that Cygwin environment will generally not transfer successfully
from one machine to another by just copying files.  You really have to
run the Cygwin setup program.

And that's before we consider what might happen to users who actually
_do_ already have a Cygwin installation on their machines.  Are you
prepared to explain to them why you interfered with those?

Bottom line is, you are better off hosting your own Cygwin repository with
your program and tell your clients how to set things up to pull it.

See

as well as setup --help.

As far as Cygwin is concerned the list can be obtained via `ldd FOO.EXE
| grep /usr/bin'.  You can determine what else is needed by the
following rooted procedure.  Change ROOTED and FOO.EXE to match what you
desire to name it.

<untested>
/usr/bin/bash
$ mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/ROOTED/{bin,tmp,home,etc}
$ for FILE in `ldd FOO.EXE | grep /usr/bin`; do
$ cp ${FILE} /cygdrive/c/ROOTED/bin
$ done

CMD.EXE
cd -d c:\ROOTED\bin
FOO.EXE
</untested>

You should be able to use XMing for the clients X Windows manager but
has already been noted you still need to connect to an X client.  You
will need to insure the DISPLAY variable is set appropriately for
FOO.EXE to communicate to the X server in CMD.EXE.

P.S. Remember to follow the license requirements of each of the
distributed packages.

Re: Distributing program compiled with gcc on Cygwin to Windows users

[drikosev]

Hello,

At first, I'd like to thank you for the valuable instructions that I
followed and
found that my application needs the following three (3) libraries:
   1. cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll
   2. cygstdc++-6.dll
   3. cygwin1.dll 

The Cygwin application that contains the above libraries had been download
from
RedHat. Whereas, my application which is just a closed source binary file
has a
proprietary license and will run on Windows "8.1" systems.

Can I simply distribute only these 4 files (3 DLLs + my Executable) or there
are
license limitations that required additional files to be installed on the
end
users computers as well?


Regards,
Ev. Drikos
