[Qt-interest] static build problem with shared libraries

[Matthias Kunz]

I reinstalled Qt and now have a folder qt_static. I also included CONFIG += static.
But it still includes the shared libraries!?

I also get an error now with QApplication_X11.cpp. Here the error:

Hello,

I want to make a static build of a project under Linux. Therefore I build Qt SDK static and include the files libQtGui.a and libQtCore.a in the .pro file.
However when I compile (with the Qt Eclipse Integration) the shared libraries libQtGui.so and libQtCore.so are added as well?
Why does that happen?

Matthias

Hello Matthias,
you can find more information about building Qt statically there:
http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_static_Qt_on_Linux
Please pay attention that it'd be better to specify a different installation directory for the static build of Qt.
You also can find there http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_static_applications
that you should use CONFIG += static for building static applications.
