Standalone Windows build package for DixonRes, including:

• drsolve.exe: user-facing CLI launcher
• drsolve_win_gui.exe: Windows GUI frontend
• dll/libdrsolve-1.dll: reusable Dixon library DLL

• x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
• GNU make

The third-party Windows headers, import libraries, and runtime DLLs used by this package are already included in this directory.

Run:

make

Optional helper targets:

make clean
make show-config
make package-layout

After a successful build:

drsolve.exe is a small launcher. It resolves the local dll/ directory, prepends that directory to PATH, and then starts bin/drsolve_cli_real.exe.

This layout keeps the top-level directory clean while still allowing:

• double-click execution of drsolve.exe
• GUI execution through drsolve_win_gui.exe
• reuse of libdrsolve-1.dll by other Windows programs

drsolve_cli_real.exe links against libdrsolve-1.dll through lib/libdrsolve-1.dll.a, so the solver code is shared through the DLL instead of being duplicated into the CLI executable.

If you want to rebuild the Windows package in the future:

1. Keep this directory structure unchanged.
2. Make sure the bundled third_party/ directories are present.
3. Run make clean.
4. Run make.

That produces a fresh drsolve.exe, drsolve_win_gui.exe, bin/drsolve_cli_real.exe, dll/libdrsolve-1.dll, and the import/static libraries under lib/.

If another Windows application wants to use libdrsolve-1.dll:

• link against lib/libdrsolve-1.dll.a
• ensure dll/libdrsolve-1.dll and the other runtime DLLs are available at runtime
• either add the dll/ directory to PATH or set the DLL search path in the host program

This package contains:

• project sources in drsolve.c, include/, src/, and win_gui/
• bundled Windows-facing third-party headers and link libraries in third_party/
• runtime DLL files in runtime/
