In C++, how to compile your code to link in a certain library statically?

Question

pls post code if ever thanks!

Answer 1

Include the header file(s) for the library:



Then to link in the library, look in your project options or settings for linker settings. There should be a place to type in the name of the library. There's often another place nearby to specify what directories to search for the libraries. For example, in MS Visual C++ 6.0, go to Project/Settings, click on the Link tab, and add the library to the ones listed in "Object/library modules". Choose "Input" from the "Category" drop-down list, and and put the library's directory in "Additional library path".

Answer 2

If you are using gcc, just add "-static" option to your compile command line.

For example,
gcc -static -g -Wall -o myprog myprog.c ...
