[Interest] Qt 5.12 for Windows (Static)

[Nuno Santos]

Markus,

Curious…

I’ve been build Qt from source on Windows with JOM for the last 4 years and I have never ran into this problem before… lucky? 

Thanks for your feedback!

Best regards,

Nuno

If it doesn't, then I think you may be picking up the wrong runtime dlls - check the path env var.  My understanding is that a statically built exe still needs dynamic linking to the c/c++ runtime?  Try running the exe via MS depends utility from http://www.dependencywalker.com/
