Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Folks,

I have built base-3.14.2 and seq-2.0.4 on win32-x86 (Windows XP, VC 6.0)
successfully.  I have then built the example application that comes with
base.  However, I have run into 2 problems in doing so.

1) If I build the example application dynamically (the default) then I
find that the application does not run unless all of the required dlls
are in my PATH environment variable.  For example base/bin/win32-x86 and
seq/bin/win32-x86.  This is not such a problem for the simple
application, but for real applications there will be over a dozen
applications that supply DLLs (mpf, std, motor, mca, etc.).  It's a real
pain to have to put these in my PATH.  Another problem with this is that
existing 3.13 extensions (for example ezcaIDL) require some DLLs
(ca.dll, com.dll) to be in the PATH, but the versions in the PATH now
are incompatible with the 3.14 versions, so this does not work.
Is this the correct and desired behavior?  Is it possible to build
dynamically linked applications on Windows that have the paths to the
required DLLs built into the executable?  

2) If I try to build the example application statically (setting
STATIC_BUILD=YES in example/configure/CONFIG then I get a fatal error in
linking:

I don't understand these link errors, since most of these symbols should
