Statically link standard library (MSVC only)

Open Robadob opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Currently we dynamically link against msvc standard library, this means users require visual studio 2019, or vs2019 redistributable installed.

If/when we distribute binary releases, we will either need to switch to statically linking vs the msvc standard lib (which may complicate our dependencies), or find a way to get the python package installer to install the redistributable.

(I'm not sure about the same implications for linux binary releases).

It is suggested that MSVC redistributables are included with python install on windows so possibly not an issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58049482/does-python-depends-on-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable
