If you need a fully static compilation of everything <i>all</i> the way

down including openssl + zlib + zstd + libtiff + all the other libraries,

using vcpkg[1] might be a reasonable approach. By default it does static

compilation on macOS & Linux, and it has a static compilation

option on Windows (the default on Windows is dynamic). It doesn't support

every compile option though, but it's customisable and if you're after

a reasonably vanilla GDAL it should work ok.</span><br><span style=" font-size:12pt"> </span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><br>There should be no dynamic dependencies.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:12pt">Note that GDAL + Proj (maybe others),

have data files they rely on, so while you may be able to get a single
