I suspected something like this
Anyway, building of a static version of a Web Browser (or CEF) is a generic problem and it is not related to UPP. Just build a static version of each required library and pass them in a correct order to a linker.

Actually the entire gist of my original question makes it a UPP problem.

Qt has WebEngine, WebSockets, WebView and a ton of other classes built into the product. While it may be difficult to statically link such stuff (impossible for a token few things), it is all part of the package.

From the responses here, UPP has not rolled in any OpenSource C++ Web library. Oh, for sure, a few http and other calls to retrieve things, but nothing which could be used to display a local Website. I'm making that assumption by the responses I've gotten here making it sound like a Web browser is this foreign country I must find without a map.

That is fine. It does answer my question. UPP shouldn't be on the short list of things to research for this client.

Thanks again for all of the help! You saved me a lot of time.
