[Solved] Too Many DLLS
[Solved] Too Many DLLS
They're just too many for a small game.. Can't I just combine them all together or hide them?

Re: Too Many DLLS
You can set the files' attributes to hidden, on windows at least. (though some people prefer seeing even hidden and system files, can't help that)
Though i've seen very small games with more external libs than löve

Re: Too Many DLLS
My best guess is, you would need to compile löve from source, and specify that the dll-s are in a subfolder, though i haven't tested it.

I've uploaded the combined LOVE and the dependencies here.
Re: Too Many DLLS
That sounds illegal. The .dll files are separated because their licenses require them to be replaceable unless everything is open source, IIRC.Ortimh wrote:I've uploaded the combined LOVE and the dependencies here.
My game called Hat Cat and the Obvious Crimes Against the Fundamental Laws of Physics is out now!

Re: Too Many DLLS
Well not illegal if the project is open source and users can get a way to "build" everything, as discussed hereT-Bone wrote:That sounds illegal.

Re: Too Many DLLS
Everything except OpenAL Soft and libmpg123 can be combined with almost no restrictions (license text must be included somewhere). libmpg123 is optional, you don't need it if you don't use mp3 files. Therefore, you can go down to one exe and one dll total, if that's aesthetically better for you.

Microsoft generally recommends against statically linking the Visual C/C++ libraries.
In SDL2's case it's useful in practice to be able to swap out the SDL2.dll for a newer / different one with fixes or changes. Doing so has fixed issues for people numerous times already.
The Lua .dll provided with LÖVE is actually LuaJIT, and it too can be swapped out with an updated version (e.g. LuaJIT 2.1-alpha). It can also be swapped out with standard Lua 5.1.
