using vcpkg to download dependencies without create dll

Question

I am using vcpkg to download cpprest package, So i can use cpprest in my project:

#include <cpprest/http_client.h>
#include <cpprest/filestream.h>

But after build my project, it will generate executable binary and also generate cpprest.dll, LIBEAY32.dll and SSLEAY32.dll and zlib1.dll in the Release folder

How to combile the dll into one executable ?

You can use static libraries in such cases and the command line will go like so . No DLL files will be required as the lib libraries can be linked directly to produce executables.

  .\vcpkg install ccprest:x64-windows-static

No. The static libraries will be built separately. – seccpur Feb 27 '18 at 06:02
is it also nesscerry config Visual Studio to using static linraries? – Moon soon Feb 27 '18 at 06:34
Should I change Code Generation -> Runtime Library to Multi-Threaded(/MT)? – Moon soon Feb 27 '18 at 07:42
@TangMonk: Yes, it should work in both release and debug versions. You can mannually link or use .\vcpkg integrate install , so that the libraries are ready for your project. – seccpur Feb 27 '18 at 07:58
