Simone,

You will have to work through these issues yourself and build a custom build to limit the DLL footprint of the Entwine/PDAL combo. Presumably you are using the conda packages which do indeed link many things to provide the widest capability.

Do note that the Entwine licensing is LGPL. You will need to maintain dynamic linking of Entwine to not trigger any consequences of the LGPL in your commercial product. There is no static linking exception for Entwine. Contact me privately for commercial options on this topic.

Hope this helps,

Howard
