static links

[DHConsultancy]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Fortran application using gfortran. I need both a 
dll, and a static library. I managed to create both, my question now is 
how to build a static gfortran application linking in the .dll or .a. If 
I link in .dll or .a, I get the error that .dll cannot be found.

Is there a way to build a "stand-alone" application, i.e. in which the 
.dll is statically linked and the application doesn't need to reference 
it at runtime?

Thanks in advance!

At the risk of stating the obvious: have you tried the -static option?
