That's the Linux build code. Get the windows version. It's devoid of that primitive command line gibberish. Just dobble click the icon.

I am not sure that the windows MSVC port was ever designed to be statically linked. The Makefile is probably missing the appropriate options, and since currently I have no Windows machine to fix this, it will have to wait until I get a virtual environment up and running, or until somebody adds the missing bits.

The sources do not need to be modified to get a statically linked library: that is simply dictated by an option that is set when you build ECL. What I meant is that the option is missing from the MSVC makefiles.
In the Linux and similar versions (including mingw), you should simply pass a configuration flag to "configure". Just do ./configure -- prefix=... --disable-shared ... The problem you will find is that version 8.12.0 does not install the statically linked version properly, but the executable gets built. I am working on a fix.
Please report if --disable-shared does not work in mingw so that I add it to the list of things to be fixed.

Ok, sorry for the inconvencience. I will look into that.
