[Qt-interest] Compiling Into a Monolithic Executable

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

On the Windows (at least with msvc) this will not work.
Problem is C runtime libraries.

QT 4.4.3 and as I was told 4.5 does not support linking to static C libraries.
I was able to build it but it had problems when run.

I have a commercial support which told it is not supported right now and this may be changed in the future.

Regards,
    Alex

Configure qt with -static and make sure that the gcc gets the -static
argument when linking.

Linking information for gcc:
