Static linkage of libmat when developing standalone application

I'm using the C-api for external usage of matlab function. I'm developing this on a machine which has a full installation of Matlab. My application will be used a machine with no matlab installation. I have linked my app with libmat.lib and libmx.lib. When executing the application on the machine without matlab installation it complains "libmat.dll not found". Is there a way around this without having to provide the dll in runtime? I expected the lib to be statically linked with my app.

libmat.lib is the import library for libmat.dll, so even though you have linked your application against it, you still need to make the corresponding DLL available at runtime. Please add $matlabroot/bin/win32/ or $matlabroot/bin/win64/ to your system path.
