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

[Nuno Santos]

Thiago,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m not very technical about this details like yourself. I’ve been doing this since ever. To reconsider I need to better understand the reasons.

The thing is. I need to have Qt compiled with MT instead of MD other wise I can’t open two instances of my plugins on the same host. Also, I don’t want to bundle MSVC runtimes. That sucks.


So… are those files still being taking into account when building Qt, even that Qt is now built by cmake?

qtbase/mkspecs/common/msvc_desktop.conf

Or is there other place for the cmake build?

Thanks!

Regards,

Nuno
