Hello again!
I have some news concerning static builds.
*Let's start with WINDOWS:*
Note: Windows 10
I finally manage to build Qt for Windows statically. Even Qt Quick Controls
2 module was successfully built. The problem was (as pointed by *Thiago
Maicera*) the -qt-[...] bounded libraries. I use the default options and it
worked better than I expected.
I build Qt for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
I installed:
Strawberry Perl 5.28.1.1
Python 2.7.14
DirectX SDK as provided by Microsoft
Strawberry Perl and Python added the appropriate folders to the PATH
environment variable: C:\Strawberry\c\bin, C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin,
C:\Strawberry\perl\bin, C:\Python27\ and C:\Python27\Scripts. For the
DirectX SDK, I added the install path and the following folders: Include,
Libs/x86 and Utilities/bin/x86. Add the x64 folder instead of x86 if you
are targeting a 64-bit build.
The configure command line:
$ configure -prefix "X:/somePath/QtStatic" -static -static-runtime -release
-opensource -confirm-license -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests
-skip qtwebengine -silent
There is no need to patch the qmake.conf file in your mkspec (as people
says) if you pass -static-runtime command line option to configure.
I use Qt Quick 2 Gallery Example as the test case, and in order to ensure
that the resulting application does not have any dependencies with the Qt
libraries, I installed a UNIX environment on Windows (by installing git)
and use the ldd tool.
For a 32-bit build, its output was:
ntdll.dll => /c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffc685f0000)
??? => ??? (0x77400000)
wow64.dll => /c/Windows/System32/wow64.dll (0x7ffc658d0000)
wow64win.dll => /c/Windows/System32/wow64win.dll (0x7ffc68540000)
Which is OK. No dependencies with Qt libraries.
For a 64-bit build, the output is a lot larger, but still it does not
depends of Qt libraries:

I also tested others applications that use Qt Multimedia and Qt Charts: all
OK.
*Now on LINUX:*
Note: KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 18.04
I installed the OpenGL dependencies mentioned in Qt Help. I also installed
python and perl.
My configure command line (almost the same used on Windows):
$ sudo ./configure -prefix "/somePath/Qt5Static" -platform linux-g++-64
-static -release -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tools -nomake
examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebengine -silent
The result is an application that does not have appropriate shaders for
QQC2 applications, and the ripple effect (Material Style) is broken (see
image bellow):
[image: Screenshot_20190506_153051.png][image:
Screenshot_20190506_153155.png]
The screenshoot shows the application running under the Material Style, but
the behavior is present on all styles.
Also, the cursor shown is no my desktop theme cursor (mine is black, and it
turns white and pixelated when I hover the application)

Observe that the list is slighty shorter (48 vs 46), but it *shows the same
issues plus missing fonts*. I know that the last can be avoided by passing
-fontconfig to configure.
I am missing something here?
I installed gstreamer and the rest of libraries mentioned on the Qt Help
Center, and also other libraries (and its respective -dev packages) that
were shown during the dependencies checking in configure, but some of those
libraries are linked dinamically.
*Conclusions:*
Building Qt on Windows *is clearly documented* and *works as expected*.
Building Qt for Linux *is not clearly documented*, for example, most users
fail to compile Qt for Linux because they not specify the target mkspec
platform (which is no needed under Windows). That should be documented.
Also, there are too much dependences in the resulting static executable.
