[Interest] Deploying the output of a static lib

[Christoph Keller]

Hi Nuno,

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-variable-reference.html (a little bit of 
scrolling is needed)
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-advanced-usage.html#libdepend

Using create_prl and link_prl, you can handle your dependencies as if 
you were linking a shared library. QMake will resolve the dependencies 
of sub-static-libraries and also choose the correct name even if you 
just do "LIBS += -lmystaticlibrary" (like with any dynamic one).

If you have an dependency tree like "app -> gui -> core" (all static), 
the app.pro can just do "LIBS += -lgui" and QMake will also link the 
static core library since it's needed by gui.

Regards,
Christoph
