[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1900) Compile xerces.dll using /MT to remove the dependency on msvcr90.dll

["Scott Cantor (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12788127#action_12788127 ] 

Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-1900:
---------------------------------------

As an option, it's fine, but 99% of today's apps assume DLL-based runtimes and mixing runtime models in a program stack crashes (or used to) due to memory management issues.

You should probably consider bundling MS' runtime library merge modules into your installer.

> The xerces-c_3_0.dll requires msvc90.dll to be installed. We have found that some of our customers do not have the msvcr90.dll installed on their machines. 
> Changing the compile flag from /MD to /MT for the Release configuration will remove the dependency (compiles all needed C-runtime code into the xerces DLL itself). The result is a 90KB bigger DLL which is only about 6% increase in size.
> I can provide the modified .vcproj. 
> Another option is to create a separate Release configuration with this compile option too.
