Can anyone help..

C++ – MinGW .exe requires a few gcc dll’s regardless of the code

Your commands are wrong !

Go to the directory where your main.cpp file is, and try the following.

g++.exe -Wall -c -g main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
g++.exe -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -o "bin\Debug\Hello World.exe" obj\Debug\main.o

then you'll no longer need to copy the DLLs (for your Hello World program).

Other notes:

The MinGW installation instructions recommends setting

c:\minGW;c:\MinGW\bin;

to the PATH environment variable.

Normally the

-static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++

linker options should work (try all 3 of them at once). But not for libwinpthread-1.dll.

Also, try to clean before recompiling.

There's no "-static-something" command.

Only standard libraries libgcc and libstdc++ can be set to static linking.

For other libraries, you first switch to static linking with "-static" and then list the libraries to include with separate commands, i.e. "-lpthread".

Cmake users should try adding:

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -lwsock32 -lws2_32 ${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES}")

set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,-Bstatic,--whole-archive -lwinpthread -Wl,--no-whole-archive")

C++ – Getting LibCurl to work with Visual Studio 2013

A lot of these instructions are out of date because they recommend the win32-ssl-devel-msvc package for curl, which no longer exists.

The following instructions allow you to build libcurl using only:

Visual Studio 2013
curl generic source tarball (tested on curl 7.44.0).

A. Build libcurl static library

Download the latest curl generic source from: http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=tar.gz
Extract the source to a local directory (we'll be using C:\libcurl)
Open a command prompt
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" To initialize your VC environment variables (adjust your VS 2013 installation directory as needed)
cd C:\libcurl\winbuild
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=static VC=12
The build should appear in C:\libcurl\builds\libcurl-vc12-x86-release-static-ipv6-sspi-winssl

B. Link Against libcurl in Visual Studio

In Visual Studio, right click your project in Solution Explorer, then click "Properties"
Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories: add C:\libcurl\builds\libcurl-vc12-x86-release-static-ipv6-sspi-winssl\include
Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions: add CURL_STATICLIB
Configuration Properties > Linker > General > Additional Library Directories: add C:\libcurl\builds\libcurl-vc12-x86-release-static-ipv6-sspi-winssl\lib
Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies: add libcurl_a.lib

C. Call libcurl from Your Project

The following sample shows a call to libcurl:

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <curl/curl.h>

void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (curl) printf("curl_easy_init() succeeded!\n"); 
    else fprintf(stderr, "Error calling curl_easy_init().\n");
}
