Article #19388: How do I create a stand-alone application in C++Builder.


Question:

How do I create a stand-alone application, i.e. one that does not require external DLL or BPL files?

 
Answer:

There are two project options relevant to this problem. Making the following changes will cause Borland packages and the C++ runtime library to be compiled into your executable file:

  • From the main menu of the C++Builder IDE, Click Project, Options, then the Linker tab. Uncheck the option labeled "Use Dynamic RTL".
  • In the same window, click the Packages tab and uncheck the option labeled "Build with runtime packages", and click Ok.

Note: 3rd party C++ libraries are not affected by these settings. ActiveX controls used by the application must always be deployed in a separate file.
