Night assembly rustfmt does not start on another Windows PC

Question

I built the last main branch of rustfmt on an x64 Windows 8.1 PC using Rust nightly 2015/07/18.

cargo build --release

rustfmt requires a nightly version of Rust.

And I copied rustfmt.exe to another x64 computer, but it cannot work and showed that some DLLs are missing.

These are std-74fa456f.dll, log-74fa456f.dll, rustc-74fa456f.dll and syntax-74fa456f.dll.

Rust stable 1.1.0 is installed on the second PC.

Answer 1

You need to copy all the DLL files where Rust is installed on the first PC. For example, C:\Rustand copy all the necessary dlls for rustfmt.exe into C:\Rust\binthe second PC in the same folder as rustfmt.exe.
