curl missing static lib

[Optiligence]

I guess this is unintentional.
To solve, run configure explicitly with --enable-static.

w8, the flag does not seem to be enough though

Ok, so i built the static version using cmake (without tests – because there are missing CMakeLists, without the exe – because it broke compilation and with patching FindOpenSSL – because it was regexing a changed line of code) and despite issuing a »Static linking is broken!« it built fine and seems to work as far as i can tell.
I just would like having this available right away.

The intention for this was, that i wanted to use curl-config --static-libs so i wouldn’t have to specify all the dependecies myself. I configured a static package with --enable-static --disable-shared as it doesn’t seem to be possible to build both together. The resulting curl-config executable provided a hand full of link-flags, but not enough, so this all seemed kind of pointless.

I'm upload yesterday new cur package with both shared and static libraries.

[Optiligence]

Yeah, thanks for that.
As i mentioned above, the thing is, how am i supposed to link to that?
Compiling the following code with g++ main.cpp -static -DCURL_STATICLIB $(curl-config --static-libs)
is not sufficient to link correctly.

#include <curl/curl.h>
int main() {
    CURL * const curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (!curl) {
        curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }
}

I'm kind of having the same trouble with libcurl. Before migrating to MSYS2/MinGW-64, I used to compile it and all I needed to ship with the app was libcurl.dll. Now it depends on lots of others libs:

libcurl-4.dll
    LIBEAY32.dll
    libidn-11.dll
        libiconv-2.dll
        libintl-8.dll
    librtmp-1.dll
        libgmp-10.dll
        libgnutls-30.dll
            libhogweed-4-0.dll
            libp11-kit-0.dll
            libtasn1-6.dll
        libhogweed-4-0.dll
        libnettle-6-0.dll
    libssh2-1.dll
    SSLEAY32.dll
    zlib1.dll
(duplicates removed)

I've tried to set the "-static" flag, but no cigar:

Strangely the executable went from ~2mb to ~6mb, but was requesting the same dlls.
