update dll list for windows standalone exe #45

Closed SylvanSign closed 3 years ago

SylvanSign commented 3 years ago

It seems the existing documentation here is a bit outdated. The new list is exactly the same as before, except that libdwarf.dll seems to no longer be necessary and zlib1.dll now seems to be required. I also alphabetized the list.

I got to this list through trial and error, and notably I did not ever encounter a specific error message stating that zlib1.dll was missing. I just happened to see a post where it was suggested in the swipl discourse forum.

Thanks. I think the requirement for libdwarf still depends on how the system is build. This tends to vary between versions. zlib1.dll is surely needed. To automate this process, recent versions have win_process_modules/1 which returns a list if DLLs used by the process. Pushed an additional patch to reflect this (and modernise the syntax of this file).
