[Qt-interest] Static compilation disaster (Windows)

[Paul England]

Hi.  Posted this in a forum at Qt-Centre but got no love.  So, here we are.

Trying to compile a program for Windows that doesn't need DLLs or the Qt
framework.

I followed this guide
http://www.formortals.com/build-qt-static-small-microsoft-intel-gcc-compiler/

The only point of interest in the above is Step 3.  I cannot find
mingwvars.bat on my machine. :/  Does that matter?  Outdated guide?

Anyways... I continued on, and things seemed to be peachy.  I configured
Qt w/ the -static option and built it.

In my project file I added
CONFIG += static

And compiled.  I got a nice 10Mb file which ran find on my machine. 
However, someone w/o the Qt Framework installed on both a 32-bit and
64-bit box tried it and got two different errors.

(Note, these are translated from German in English)

64-bit
This version of the file is not compatible with your Windows-version.
Open the systeminformation of the computer to check whether a x86-(32
Bit)- or x64 (64 Bit)-version of the program is required, and then
contact the publisher of the software afterwards

32-bit:
Program ist too big for the working memory

If anyone wants to take a gander, here's the project:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tagitdown/

tagitdown_0.7_win32.exe is the offending file.  I will be able to try it
on a Qt-less machine when I get home, but I'm expecting the same results.

Thanks,
Paul
