Compiling Qt apps statically (Qt/Windows)
Message 1 in thread
Hello, I`m trying to compile my application statically so I don't need to
ship the Qt dlls with my executable (which is actually supposed to work only
on Windows for now), but I can't build it statically. I'm currently using Qt
Open Source Edition for Windows and Qt Eclipse Integration.
On my Qt/lib folder there are a lot of .a files, so I guess qt has been
built correctly.
But I can't generate a makefile (or a .pro file) that will be statically
built instead of dinamically and my release executable has less than 100KB.
Thanks in advance.

You have to recompile QT.
Re-run configure.exe, adding "-static" switch to it
Then rerun make to recompile qt.
Then QT will be compiled as static library. No need to alter the .pro
files afterwards, just do "make clean && make" and your app should be
static.
