[Interest] I can´t compile Qt statically (statically link)

[Nuno Santos]

Ernesto,

I have been able to compile Qt statically on Windows since version 5.6. One thing that have I found is that having the right environment is crucial.

I usually open a Visual Studio command prompt and then I run a bat with the following content (currently for 5.8 32 bit)

REM Set up \Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, where <arch> is \c amd64, \c x86, etc.
CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
SET _ROOT=C:\Qt\5.8\src\
SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtbase\bin;%_ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin;%PATH%;c:\python27\
REM Uncomment the below line when using a git checkout of the source repository
REM SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtrepotools\bin;%PATH%
SET QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc
SET QMAKE_MSC_VER=1900
SET _ROOT=
