Ok in the first year of my ECE program and my parents want to check out some of my work. I just finished a program in c and want to email it to them. Their computer is running vista. My development computer is running xp and I compile my programs with visual studio 2008. What do I need to do to accomplish this? If its not worth the effort it would take let me know.
They're going to need the runtime libraries. If they happen to have VS installed themselves, then great. Otherwise you have two options (at least):
1. Static linking, rather than linking to DLLs. Change the "runtime library" option in your project properties to /MT (under C/C++, code generation).
2. Give them the redistributable libraries as well (I think they're called VCRedist or something similar).
sweet thanks.
