#117 Unwanted GCC DLL dependencies

[Andrei]

Hello, I am using MinGW-W64 x86_64-6.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0.

My issue is that the programs I build depend on the following DLLs:

• libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
• libstdc++-6.dll
• libwinpthread-1.dll

How exactly can the above libraries be linked statically, so that I don't need to redistribute their shared versions to the end-user?

Furthermore, is there a way to programatically determine such dependencies in the future, without trial and error? Are these dependencies documented somewhere?

Thank you.

You could try the '-static' switch when linking.

You could use the objdump command line tool to find out the dependencies of DLLs & EXEs.
