Ok, I'll try with different wording: Do you plan to create your executables in the bin directory of the toolchain? Surely not. As those executables compiled by you will depend on the same dlls that cc1plus.exe et al. depend on, you need to add the directory that holds those dlls to PATH (or copy them to the directory that holds your executable.) So moving cc1plus.exe to `bin' makes the toolchain "self contained", but it is no solution as soon as you try to execute the programs you created with that toolchain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
