@@ -2,11 +2,14 @@ Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):
- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.
- Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 cannot be distributed: They depend
- on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part of a
- Woe32 installation, therefore the distribution of such binaries - with or
- without msvcr70.dll - would be a violation of the GPL. This problem does not
- occur with MSVC 6.0 and earlier.
+ Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They
+ depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part
+ of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the
+ binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA.
+ You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this
+ will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system.
+ Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0
+ and earlier.
- Cannot build in a separate directory.
