    Sorry, we only support dynamic libraries for Ice. Static linking isn't possible at this time. However, please us know if you have any commercial need for such a feature :).

    Of course, you can distribute a simple application with just an exe and a few DLLs, typically:
    - appname.exe
    - ice21.dll (main Ice DLL)
    - iceutil21.dll (IceUtil DLL)
    - msvcp71.dll (Microsoft C++ runtime)
    - msvcr71.dll (Microsoft C runtime)

    all in the same directory.

    Note that the debug version of the Microsoft C/C++ runtime is not redistributable, so you can't provide a complete distribution for an exe linked with the debug (*d.dll) Ice libraries.

    Cheers,
