C9 does not copy DLLs

[ttetley]

C9.0.10376 ABC PDF Tools 4.0

I use the Clarion feature to copy referenced DLLs to the target APP folder. When I use PDF tools there are 5 required DLLs that do not copy. They are dscrt40.dll, ixclib40.dll, pxclib40.dll, xccdx40.dll, and xcpro40.dll. Is there something that I can add to the project/solution to get these DLLs to copy?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony!

I'll have to check this out. We have special template #PROJECT coding that began in C8 that copies these DLL's to the target folder. If that's not working then C9 has yet another bug.

Later: I just created the abtpdf41.app in a fresh folder using C9 10376 and it copied the following dll's:

xcpro40.dll
ClaASC.dll
ClaDOS.dll
ClaRUN.dll
ClaTPS.dll
dscrt40.dll
fm40base.dll
fm40tiff.dll
ixclib40.dll
pxclib40.dll
xccdx40.dll

Note that it copied two files you did not mention but which are necessary "helper" files:

fm40base.dll
fm40tiff.dll

Maybe you need to check your application build settings.

Thanks, I will investigate further. But this begs another question, if I am compiling a stand alone exe, is it not possible for these DLLs to be linked into that .EXE rather than being copied?

Hi Tony!

It can't be done. Our DLL's are required to be installed with your EXE, no matter how you do your Clarion compiie.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
