[Qt-interest] Re : Configure hangs on Windows when building Qt 4.6 when adding -openssl-linked

[Garth Dahlstrom]

4.5.3 built with SSL, everything accept SSL was static ... I'm following the instructions at http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-installation-and-deployment-5/t-qt-453-openssl-098k-windows-static-mingw32-25453.html to try to get it to go completely static.

I've opened a JIRA for the configure.exe hanging issue -> http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5802

Cheers,
