Thread: possible to link and run with .lib file without .dll file?

Hello everyone,


I usually link with .lib file and when program executes, it will look for .dll file to load real function implementations.

I heard that it is possible to link with .lib file and the program can run without .dll file (.dll file needs not be generated and not needed at all during program execution). Is that correct? If it is, could anyone introduce some online tutorials about this topic?


thanks in advance,
George
