Ask HN: Why isn't it easy to compile dlls inline?
2 by h_tbob | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I was dinking with some c++ and I wonder why it's not simple to just inline dlls when you do a release build? Seems like it would be easier. Is this a relic from when disk space was at a premium and it just never changed? I'm trying to compile some code and it works, but I found I have to copy the dll to the working dir and I was just wondering why cmake or vs build doesn't just have a "fat binary" build... would make life easy. Not complaining, just wondering.
