Static Link Errors

[Mario]

@Joshua: You're missing the runtime, which is expected to be statically linked for you. Try adding -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ to your linker command line.

i mentioned it
but it doesn't work
his problem have been solved

[achpile]

Excuse me, if I wrong.
Does it normal, that static linkage goes without errors only with "-s-d" libs?

When I'm trying to statically link with "-s" the tons of errors comes to build log:

If you link statically you have to link all the dependencies, see here.

[achpile]

Wow... Now I've got it Thanks a lot, eXpl0it3r!

[Mörkö]

If you link statically you have to link all the dependencies, see here.

I did this and tried to launch the program on another computer, but got an error saying could not launch program because of `missing file msvcp120.dll`

I guess that's a Windows specific issue, and some googling got me an article by Microsoft recommending the developer to build some kind of extracting package or something. I didn't have time to try it yet.

[Jesper Juhl]

Most non-trivial programs built with Visual C++ require the Visual C++ Redistributable Package (containing various runtime libraries) to be installed in order to run. Alternatively you can package the required dll's alongside your application.
