[Interest] How to deploy a qml app with Qt built statically?

[Nuno Santos]

Hey,

Thanks for your reply. Seemed pretty easy until I got this:

  error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "struct QStaticPlugin const 
__cdecl qt_static_plugin_qwindows(void)" 
(?qt_static_plugin_qwindows@@YA?BUQStaticPlugin@@XZ) referenced in 
function "public: __thiscall 
StaticqwindowsPluginInstance::StaticqwindowsPluginInstance(void)" 
(??0StaticqwindowsPluginInstance@@QAE at XZ)
release\audiolab.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Any ideas?

Thanks
