Re: -static not working with gcc 4.3.4


It still requires the cygwin1.dll:

$ g++ -v
...
gcc version 4.5.0 (GCC)

$ g++ test.c -o test -static

$ ldd test.exe
        ...
        cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)
        ...

And apparently the only alternative is mingw, see:

http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.static-linking
"it is not possible to statically link with a Cygwin library to obtain an
independent, self-contained executable. "

$ i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -v
...
gcc version 4.5.1 (GCC)

$ i686-w64-mingw32-g++ test.c -o test -static

$ ldd test.exe
        ntdll.dll => ... path to Windows dlls
        kernel32.dll => ... 
        KERNELBASE.dll => ...
        msvcrt.dll => ...

(I.e. no dependencies on anything besides system dlls.)
