What options set, to statically linked the library curl ? Library should be integrated

What options set, to statically linked the library curl ?

Library should be integrated to executable file.

tried different: added options g++ -DCURL_STATICLIB -lcurl … added #define CURL_STATICLIB to the code …, in the IDE NetBeans added libcurl.a, libcurldll.a … etc.,

Compile is successful and all works great. But still require external libcurl.dll! (Size of executable file also increases!)

What’s wrong ? might have something add to the IDE (also used NetBeans, Eclipse)

Please show a correct example as you would make

Executable file should be without calling an external dll library

it my first question 🙂

Fix.

Example compile for library curl with OpenSSL + zlib + libidn + libssh2 + librtmp:

g++ -static main.cpp -lcurl -lidn -lwldap32 -lssh2 -lz -lrtmp -lssl -lssl32 -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lws2_32 -lwinmm -o test.exe

note: here shouldn’t be specified -lcurldll. This will lead to that: compile is successful, but still require external libcurl.dll
