Statically linking libraries in MinGW

Question

Suppose I have three C source files. The first two to be LIBs (lib*.a?), and the third is an application which uses them.

The first is (re.c):

int re(int i         


        

Answer 1

Adding to Ghasan's answer. (It is possible to build it static if all the %.a files and object files are available)

Most of the libraries in mingw are static as I can see in the lib/ directory(all %.a file). In my case the shared-dependencies are only the libstd++-6.dll and libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll which are not there in static library at all.

I was unable to run my executable without those two shared-libraries. As the description reads,

This is freely redistributable library; it is required by, (and you must distribute it with), any application compiled by the GNU C++ language compiler, unless support for shared runtime libraries is explicitly disabled when building.
