- Is it possible somehow to avoid including all these dependencies?
Yes, several:
1. Rewrite the GTK/X11 units so they load all needed libraries on-demand.
The problem is that GTK and some X library units are bound statically to all
libraries.
2. Recompile the GTK/X11/LCL units with smartlinking. This will drastically
increase compile times, but your app will be smaller and will include
only those libraries that are actually used.
- Can someone direct me on how statically include libraries to executable?
You'd need all libraries available in static form, and then pass
-k--static to the compiler.
