[Alexander Kleff]

Yeah,

that would be great, I didn't know a new release was coming so soon.
Thanks a lot.

How about releasing a new version within a week. Would be in fact less work than backporting and some more bug fixes would get out.

Deal?

Hi,

At least I need some fix now, so either your back port or my workaround. To back port would be very kind of you as the workaround is a bit involved because the manifest is created automatically and has to be edited by hand afterwards (or possibly by a script in the future).
I don't know how much inconvenience it causes to you to back port but it would help me very much.

Best regards,
Alexander

If you really insist I could back port the fix to 3.4.2 and release new MSIs for windows. Or could you wait for the next release?

Hi,

indeed, with these dlls I do not need to change anything in my test application to make it run (didn't try it in the actual application). So for now, I'm fine. Thanks.
Do you intend to provide x64 and debug binaries as well?
Would be nice.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I just build dlls for Gecode 3.4.2 with manifests embedded. Could you please try whether this solves your problem?

An archive with just the dlls, pdbs, and libs can be found here (they are actually build from the trunk but should work):

Hi,

Actually I have to admit that (as you found out) we have to tried to ignore this as much as possible, in particular as MSVC 2008 and MSVC 2010 do and require different things regarding manifests.

Okay, the first user has complained: we are going to look into it in one of the next (if not the next) releases. Could I get back to you as a possible tester of what we might do?

Thanks for letting us know.

Best
Christian

Hi everyone!
According to the last sentence in the last mail under "Linking to Gecode with Microsoft Visual C++" you wait until somebody complains about the absence of a manifest.
Well, I had some trouble loading Gecode libraries as I ran into the Microsoft runtime error R6034 which is "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library without using a manifest." Since Gecode doesn't come with a manifest, I added a <dependency> statement for the needed runtime to the manifest of the calling application manually. So now it loads but it seems to me that it would be "cleaner" to have this in Gecode. Do you agree? Or am I mislead?
For the sake of completeness, I'm currently migrating to Visual Studio 2010 under Win7. By the way, the calling application is written in C#.
Best regards,
Alexander
