Can I link MSVCRT statically with mingw?
Question
I have C program I compile with mingw on Windows. It works fine but requires MSVCRT.DLL . I want to link that statically (like I can do in Visual Studio). Is this possible?
I tried -static flag to gcc and it didn't make any change.
What about C++ program using also standard C++ library?

I believe that MinGW doesn't use the static runtime library for copyright reasons.
You can maybe try to use newlib ( http://sourceware.org/newlib/ ) to create an executable that doesn't link to msvcrt.dll

Having spent a while searching for this myself, I came across this post introducing the in-progress Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library . However, it's not ready for use, and the developer appears to have abandoned it. Home page link here .
Posting this answer here in the hope that it'll come in useful to people googling at some point in future.

链接gcc -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ ，你不需要libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll和libstdc++-6.dll
