Or 4.5.3 ? >> @set HB_USER_LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc >> @set HB_USER_DFLAGS=-static-libgcc >Can you tell, what these options are doing? The @set HB_USER_LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc, stops the following exe to ask for 'libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll': harbour.exe hbformat.exe hbi18n.exe hbmk2.exe hbpp.exe hbrun.exe hbtest.exe The @set HB_USER_DFLAGS=-static-libgcc, stops the following exe to ask for 'libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll': hbformat-dll.exe hbi18n-dll.exe hbmk2-dll.exe hbrun-dll.exe hbtest-dll.exe See below: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=691876: File Release Notes and Changelog Release Name: Current Release: gcc-4.4.0 Notes: The MinGW.org team is pleased to offer a binary release of GCC 4.4.0. .... 5. GENERAL NOTES - Throwing exceptions through foreign frames Previous versions of GCC would blindly unwind through all foreign frames. If these frames did not have valid unwind information, perhaps because they were written in a language that does not have exceptions, program data structures might be left in an incoherent state, leading to mysterious bugs including data loss and program crashes. From now on, GCC will only unwind through frames if it can be determined that the functions understand exceptions. Currently, functions that use either Dwarf-2 EH or SEH are supported. Unfortunately, in i386 versions of Windows, there is no reliable way for the compiler or runtime unwinder to tell if a function supports unwinding with SEH. Consequently, it is necessary to add the seh_aware decorator to the declarations of foreign SEH functions that exceptions might be thrown through. If you intend to throw exceptions through Windows API callbacks, you will need to add __attribute__((seh_aware)) to the declaration of the corresponding API function. This is only a temporary measure, as a future version of w32api from MinGW.org will have some sort of way of adding this annotation automatically. Note that it is not necessary to add this attribute to the callbacks themselves, or any other function definition that is compiled by GCC; it is only necessary for foreign functions. - Dynamic linking with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll Dynamic linking with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is necessary to throw exceptions between different modules, such as between two DLLs or a DLL and an EXE. Consequently, it is the default for all languages other than C. To disable this dynamic linking, use -static-libgcc. To enable this dynamic linking in C, use -shared-libgcc.
