When I compile it under Mint 19.2 and try the app under Mint on the machine it is compiled on it runs without issues.

On other machines (one Mint 18.2, the other not yet sure of the specific version of Linux), I get various errors about missing libraries, such as

Are you distributing the same libcurl binary shared library to the different distros?
That is the issue I am still struggling with. I had assumed that by packaging  libcurl statically, I would get around the need for worrying about any other libraries to be distributed. This my first real attempt at building & sharing a  Linux version of my app.

If I copy the file libcurl.so.4 to the same directory as the executable, I end up with errors

On Linux, apps don't load shared libraries from the same dirs as the applications just because they happen to be there, you need to also change the path for where ld.so finds shareed libraries.

So I found out and I am still working on sorting all that out.

And I have by now, given up on the idea of linking libcurl statically
