[Qt-interest] what are command for building Qt for shared/static

[Alessandro Portale]

Hi Efan,

The compile switches for dynamic/static runtimes are defined by 
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG and QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE in
<qtdir>\mkspecs\win32-msvc2008\qmake.conf

There is no configure option to tweak those values. If you are 
adventurous, you could change the -MD(x) to -MT(x) manually and rebuild 
Qt. Qt Software does currently however not officially encourage or 
support the use of static runtimes. It is not guaranteed by us that 
using static runtimes will work flawlessly.
