[Interest] Tweaking a static build of Qt 6 for Windows

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

When I used to compile Qt 5 statically for Windows I would usually need to tweak a couple of settings under:

qtbase/mkspecs/common/msvc_desktop.conf

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O2 -MT -Zc:strictStrings
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MT -Zi -Zc:strictStrings
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG = -Zi -MTd

QMAKE_LIBS_CORE = kernel32.lib user32.lib shell32.lib uuid.lib ole32.lib advapi32.lib ws2_32.lib gdi32.lib

Since I build plugins that can be opened multiple times, we need to change -MD to -MT. I would also need to link a couple extra libs. Don’t know why.

When building Qt 6, is this the same place for this type of settings or the fact that the build is managed by cmake this files are ignored and others are used. If so, which ones?

Thanks!

Regards,

Nuno
