Someone says "You can always link gcc runtime and winpthreads statically, removing necessity of DLL inclusion.".
I don't understand.
Why linking statically would prevent DLL inclusion ?
Static linking one library would not prevent other DLL being included. But the static linking removes the need for that particular DLL.
Do you understand that a statically linked library can replace a dynamically linked library?
It is similar to including the dll within the executable instead of outside.
Ok, statically linking a library means no DLL (dynamic link library) for that library.
I think I got it.
What are great resources (videos, books) to learn about C compiling and linking ? I follow C courses, but they don't really talk about that. Thanks for helping !
