Embedding SFML into C#?
« on: May 24, 2013, 08:26:32 pm »
In C++ you can embed the Static Libraries into the application so you don't have to include them separately every time you make a new project in the output folder.

Is it possible to do the same in C#?

Not with just plain visual studio, but there is programs out there (google ".net static linking") that can wrap all managed dlls into one exe. However I am not sure if they are capable of embedding the unmanaged libraries of CSFML.

What's the problem with distributing a few more files with your application?

Oh I was just interested to know really.

The less the user needs to do the better :3

Users don't have to do anything, it's just that your application will contain N + 6 files instead of N. I don't see how this is less "handy" or "more work for users" ;)
