Hi,

I have downloaded curl-7.29.0-devel-mingw32 zipfile, unpacked it and
moved the contents to my mingw folder. I have done nothing else during
installation as I cannot see anything else that is mentioned in the
documentation that would work and some of the files mentioned do not
seem to be included in the current release. (Cannot see how to use
mingw32-make for installation and configure not an option.)
As a test I have then tried to compile curl\samples\simple.c
gcc -o simple.exe simple.c -I..\include -L..\lib -lcurldll
This works fine and produces an executable. When executed I am prompted
for libcurl.dll and once I add curl\bin to my system path the exectuable
runs fine. So far so good.
However, I want to link simple.c statically so that I don't require
libcurl.dll
gcc -o simple.exe simple.c -DCURL_STATICLIB -I..\include -L..\lib -lcurl
This generates mutiple "undefined reference" errors. I have also tried
linking other libraries as suggested in various posts and web pages
(such as ws2_32, winmm, z) but to no avail and I'm now struggling.
Can anybody please help? I feel I should be able to link statically
since I can link dynamically. In particular:
Is static linking possible without using msys?
Is static linking possible using the setup I have (without building
libcurl myself)?
Am I missing something?
yes, the makefiles in ./samples folder ... ;-)
the issue you see is most likely that you didnt add the other bunch of
dependency libs since this version is build with almost everything -
hence it depends on openssl, libssh2, libidn, zlib ...
just set a path to your MinGW\bin folder and then just try inside the
samples dir 'mingw32-make' - that should build the samples and link them
statically; if not please post exact error output here ...
Gün.
