Yes, the DLLs are usually installed along with the binary by the installer on Windows.

What I was talking about was the setup required on your machine/CI to get the dependencies to build those DLLs.

I just did a double take at "Windows and macOS aren't as bad as Linux".

Packaging for Windows is truly horrible. Even getting the dependencies to build your app on Windows is a nightmare (the author mentions winget which is no good for libraries)?

I maintain an app that uses libsfml, libfluidsynth and a bunch of other dependencies. Packaging on windows was only made possible by MSYS2 and pacman which is literally a linux package manager.

I really want to use a scheme based operating system where all processes are continuations and people boot into a REPL instead of a unix shell. something like a modern version of the symbolics lisp machines. Instead of using fork() and exec, spawning a new process would be a call/cc. can you imagine?

I assumed the word was derived from "azul" but from the article, it's apparently derived from the Arabic الزليج (al-zillīj) and has no relation with "azul"
