I am trying to create an executable. When I go to the executable file, and I attempt to open it, it says " the code execution cannot proceed because libstc++-6.dll was not found. Reinstalling this program might fix this problem." The problem is that the code works when I run it inside my IDE, but not when I attempt to double-click the executable file itself.
I have done some experimenting and came up with this:
1: This problem only shows up if I am using the iostream library.
2: I have looked in the directories of my compiler, and libstc++-6.dll is indeed there.
This problem has been plaguing me for a while, and I have no idea how to resolve it...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I couldn’t figure out how to link it statically, if that’s a word. So what I did is I copy-and-pasted three libraries to the same directory as my exe and it worked. The libraries were the ones which my compiler told me were missing. Thanks everyone!
Based on libstdc++-6.dll not found, it looks like the problem is that your executable isn't in the same directory as the dll, so either copy the dll file to the directory with your executable, or better: use the static options to link the libraries without needing to copy the dll for each executable.

recently I realized my c++ program was detected as a virus and I think it must be a compiler problem. so I uninstalled my compiler and reinstall it through msys2. the output is ok in my system but when I run EXE outputs created by a new compiler in a Virtual machine or another system I've got this error: libstdc++-6.dll not found
I don't have any idea how to fix this problem. I appreciate any help.

Some people call this DLL hell, but that's usually because they don't really understand completely how shared libraries work on Windows.
You can avoid DLL dependancies by building your .exe file with linker flag -static and linking with the necessary dependencies static library files (*.a).
Specifically for the C++ standard library libstdc++-6.dll you will need to specify linker flag -static-libstdc++.
Or you can use shared libraries (*.dll), but then you need to distribute them in the same folder as the .exe file.
I wrote a tool called copypedeps as part of https://github.com/brechtsanders/pedeps to copy .exe files along with all the required .dll files.
After downloading GCC 4.9.2 TDM (SJLJ)-32 bit for SFML for codeblocks, I can build and run but can not run .exe files. Whenever i try to run .exe files, an error message shows up: "The program can't start because libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. " I tried going to settings->compilers -> linker settings -> other linker settings -> added -shared-libgcc and -shared-libstdc++ , but same error message shows up still. Can anyone help me? I may need specific answers because I am a newbie. I spent hours trying to figure this out...
As always on Windows, any DLL with which a program is linked at buildtime
must be found at runtime by the OS program loader in one of the directories
where it looks for DLLs as per the Windows Dynamic-Link Library Search Order.
Therefore make sure that libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll is in one of those
directories. The crudest way of doing this is to copy the DLL to
the same directory that contains the program. This DLL is your GCC compiler's runtime library, and you will find it in <Your_TDM_GCC_Install_Dir>/bin - e.g. C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin
I'm currently making a small C++ program for my friends. I'm using Netbeans in school for Java and wanted to use Netbeans for C++ too (I want to use the same IDE for everything).
Now when I run my program in netbeans, it works perfectly in the IDE. But when I try to compile my program I can't seem to find the .exe file. I can only find the debug .exe file, which I can't run because I miss 3 .dll files (cygstdc++-6.dll, cygwin1.dll and cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll)
Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to find the problem at this moment
thx for the help
If you want to have release .exe - you need to compile in Release mode instead of Debug
Regarding the issue with missing files:
My assumption is that Netbeans has a built-in compiler (which from your explanation appears to be one within cygwin environment). Having it built-in simply means that the IDE knows a path to all the sources (.dll) and header files
When you try to run the .exe out of the IDE - your executable cannot find these libraries (cygstdc++-6.dll, cygwin1.dll and cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll) because they're not set in the environment variables and are not visible from the executable's folder. (I expect, that the path to these .dlls is not hardcoded)
After installing Opencv2.2 using this tutorial I tried to run a simple sample script. It gave me the following error, however: The program can't start because opencv_highgui220.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. But I did, in fact, add the .dll to the Library Directories. I actually did everything the tutorial did too. I also tried to copy the .dll file to the general visual studio lib folder and then tried this #pragma comment (lib, opencv_highgui220) but I got the same error. Does anyone know how it is possible visual C++ still thinks the .dll does not exist? Thanks!
The option use library dependence inputs is set to yes.
The DLL is missing from your system's environment and has nothing to do with compiling and linking your executable (i.e. adding the DLL folder to your Library directories folder is meaningless).
Add the DLL folder to your system path (System Variable PATH in Environment variables).
I am reading the OpenGl superbible, and on the very first triangle program it will not run.
the program compiles just fine but when i run it, it gave me the error message freeglut.dll is missing from your computer. I downloaded that and put it in the correct directory, and it said that MSVCR71.dll was missing, so i downloaded that and put it in the correct directory and it began to say "The procedure entry point __glutCreateWindowWithExit could not be located in the dynamic link library freeglut.dll." does anyone know what i am doing wrong? i followed all the directions that the book told me.
You can't just grab random DLLs off the interwebtubes and dump them on your PC. There are versioning issues to consider that you're completely bypassing. It should have been a hint when the MSVC runtime dependency didn't link up.
Install the freeGLUT package properly, in its entirety.
I have had the same problem. Follow these steps:
Assuming that you have performed all steps given in the book.
Download the source code from companion site…I think the folder is SB5 and its 92 MB.
Then build the project named 'freeglut.vcproj'.
It will produce freeglut.dll apart from other files.Put freeglut.dll into c:\windows\syswow64 folder and all is done.
You could just include the dll wherever your executable is, if you are running this MSVC, then you could for example put the dll inside of your Debug folder. Cleaning the folder would remove everything except that dll so you wouldnt have to worry about constantly recopying it. Furthermore, if you want an alternative solution you could just put the dll inside of you Windows/System32 folder, or in the case of 64 bit architectures you could put it inside of the System/SysWow64 folder
The freeglut.dll should be placed in the VS project folder. The dll is part of the MSVC package - http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/freeglut-devel/
Isn't there any options on the compiler where you can link the libraries? For example, if you use DevC++, you should go to Project -> Project Options -> Parameters, and set the Linkers.
