Statically Compiling Qt 4.6.2

Question

This what I did but it results in errors:

1: In win32-msvc2008\qmake.conf I set QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O1 -Og -GL -MD

2: From MSVC2008 CMD I run vcvarsall.bat x86 and vcvars32.bat "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin

3: From Qt 4.6.2 CMD I run the following

C:\Qt\4.6.2>configure -release -nomake examples -nomake demos -no-exceptions -n o-stl -no-rtti -no-qt3support -no-scripttools -no-openssl -no-opengl -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-plastique -no-sql-sqlite -platform win32-msvc2008 -static -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-libpng

and then nmake

However, I ended up every time with these errors:

Thank you in deed.

Answer 1

Try setting these environment variables :

• QTDIR : c:\Qt\4.6.2 or wherever you unzipped the Qt sources.
• QMAKESPEC : win32-msvc2008
• %QTDIR%/bin to the PATH

And use the 'Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt' (in the Tools menu in VS2008) instead of the Qt one.

Answer 2

I tried to do it with MS VS 2008 and it worked.

C:\Qt\4.6.2>configure -release -static -opensource -no-fast -no-exceptions -no-accessibility -no-rtti -no-stl -no-opengl -no-openvg -no-incredibuild-xge -no-style-plastique -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-windowsce -no-style-windowsmobile -no-style-s60 -no-gif -no-libpng -no-libtiff -no-libjpeg -no-libmng -no-qt3support -no-mmx -no-3dnow -no-sse -no-sse2 -no-iwmmxt -no-openssl -no-dbus -platform win32-msvc2008 -arch windows -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -webkit -no-declarative

However, I get these errors when building a project that links statically to QWebKit:

Do I need to check something in the Qt project options ? I have QtCore, QtGui, Network and WebKit checked.

Answer 3

I also did the same thing but with visual studio,

1)Downloaded and installed the qt opensource version

2)Included the two directories ($QTDIR)\qt\bin,($QTDIR\bin) as path variable in Systemproperties->Environment variable

3)Opened the visual studio 2010 command prompt ->

cd ($QTDIR)\qt\bin

4)nmake distclean

5)configure

6)nmake

the output is:
