MinGW Link Single EXE

Question

I installed MinGW and I just want to link my program into a single EXE file. I want to be able to give this EXE file to someone without having to worry about all the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll,or any other DLL. Is there a way to statically link all the required libraries into a single EXE?

I am developing on Windows 7.

Answer 1

You can use -static option when linking with libraries, and for libgcc and libstdc++ use the following:

-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++
