No, I have no MSYS2 installation on the target hosts and there will not
be. My program is part of a big collaborative project. The installation
 takes over one hour, because at this time we are bound to some
extraordinary big Micros*ck programs (MSSQL Advanced for example). This
will change, and I hope this will be soon. For this reason I don't want
to force my Customer to install even more software.

That is the reason why I want to deliver the required DLLs and only the
needed ones with my package.

My development is done only in a Linux environment.

Regards,
Dirk

No, it dowsn't. This was related to related to pelzflorian mentioning 
making this project open sourced.

I'll take a look at this. The question was which DLLs are nedded.

Thank you.

I make Windows binaries with jhbuild and mingw from linux. I have it
all wrapped up in a docker container, so all anyone needs to do to
make a binary is

sudo ./build.sh 8.3

and it'll build version 8.3 and make an installer, and the host
machine will be undisturbed.

You're very welcome to nick any parts which might be useful. It's
gtk2, but a gtk3 one would be a simple change. As long as you have
your project buildable via cmake or autotools, it should be simple to
adapt.

Thanks, this is a point I totally forgot. So no statically linking is
possible.

Making the project open is no option. The protocol of the devices we
communicate with is covered by various NDAs.


Does distributing a compiled object "leak" more information than 
distributing a dynamically-linked exe?


I only want to copy just the needed files, not the complete DLL set 
Mingw has on my systems, these are real much.


I can't remember if finding the deps was part of your original question 
(sorry). In case it was: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
