I have this small https client thant compiles and links OK with Eclipse CDT , mingw x64 and openssl 1.1.1, so far so good.

In order to run the EXE in another PC I need to distribute the EXE with these DLLs, all in the same folder, it's cool and simple, but I would like to use a single EXE if possible:

HttpClient.exe
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll

Regular link command:

'Invoking: Cross G++ Linker'
g++ -L"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\opt\lib" -L"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib" -L"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib" -L"C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\8.1.0" -o "HttpClient" ./src/HttpClient.o -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypt32 -lws2_32
'Finished building target: HttpClient'
' '
11:36:01 Build Finished. 0 errors, 0 warnings. (took 342ms)

If I add the -static flag to the G++ command line, using /properties/C++ build/settings/G++ linker->Command textbox

These errors are thrown when I try to build:

'Invoking: Cross G++ Linker'

The dynamic libraries are different beasts from collections of object files. They need to be along as is, or you do need static versions of the files for linking.

A fully static link is not necessary with the static libraries: the combined executable can still refer to dynamic system libraries. A fully statically linked executable is typically huge.
