Tankage for Windows #38

Closed kskels closed 13 years ago

Get rid of all the DLLs possible and make it link the game statically for at least Windows people. They should just have one tankage.exe and maybe resource files. Fix home, which will contain config file and maybe log file?

It's possible to include resources in the exe as well.. Would be good to get rid of those as well and make the game for Windows people as simple as possible. Not sure if this is easy, though.

Need to fix nice icon, too.. Otherwise it will probably stand on the desktop and will annoy people all the time :D

Bloody Microsoft Visual Studio has C Runtime Libraries that executables are dependent on. Need to check on the license or maybe they have some runtime package?!

peteb commented 13 years ago

Yes there's a "redistribute package" or something. probably called vcredist or so. Btw. we probably need to cache stuff downloaded from the server somewhere

kskels commented 13 years ago

That sucks.. So everyone needs to install this package before the game..

peteb commented 13 years ago

Yes I think so, but maybe it can be integrated into the exe. We should do some research on this.

From the discussion, check resources and adding data and MS super runtime into the executable, and check icon as well..
