VS CPP projects: is it possible to link DLL to form one exe-file

I have two Visual Studio C++ projects - a dialog based application and a DLL. The DLL is used by the first application. I want to have the DLL statically linked with the first application to form one monolite executable file. Is it possible?

Solution

  • No, it is not possible to statically link a DLL into an exe. You can change the DLL project into a lib project and link the lib.
