So I am currently coding a C program for Windows and come across a little bit of a problem. I’ve been compiling using the mingw-w64 toolchain. In my program, I am attempting to remove as many dependencies as I can. I’ve been using Dependency Walker to see which DLLs my program depends on. My question is how can I implement a function/functions from one of the DLLs my program depends on so that I can remove the dependency? Is there an open-source reference for the implementations (that isn’t Win32 API reference) that shows what’s actually happening in C code? I realize static linking is a thing but that would raise application size a lot for libraries that I only want to use one function..
