Create a static application for linux using QT.

[predatorz]

Hi,

How do i compile a static application for linux using qt?
I am using QT 4.6 SDK to write the programs
Using http://qtnode.net/wiki?title=Building_static for a guide, I have run configure -static and mingw32-make sub-src using the QT Command prompt in windows.
The process took a few hrs and i compiled the program in windows which created a 9.32mb executable and i copied 4 .dll files over to the same folder and i am able to run the executable normally.
Do i also need to do the same for linux OS (configure -static and make sub-src) to make a static application?

Yes, it works the same on linux. But what 4 dlls where still required? I guess the runtime for the compiler. You should not need to copy those over on linux.
