I want to build a c++ executable such that all the libraries also get attached to the executable. What is the method of building such an executable? So, that whenever I compile my code using g++ on some other PC (running Ubuntu), it does not need the libraries needed for the running of that executable.

sounds like you would need to use static linking http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6578484/telling-gcc-directly-to-link-a-library-statically – gda2004 Apr 09 '14 at 11:31

You still have to make sure that the target OS ABI is compatible. – Mike DeSimone Apr 09 '14 at 11:35

1You do not "run [your] executable using g++". You *compile* and *link* using `g++` to *get* an executable that you run. – Some programmer dude Apr 09 '14 at 11:48

What you mean is called static linking. Please have a look at this tutorial:
