Building Static Qt App, how to proceed

[zeitcheist]

Hi.

First things first, how do I confirm if I successfully installed a static Qt on my debian pc? Does building really take hours to complete?

So I tried to export 'supposedly' static bin into path. Then run make clean, qmake -config release, make. The build was ok. But, running ldd:

There are still Qt libraries needed. Plus the poppler. How can I link the poppler statically?

Thanks in advance. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You can check the size of the resulting binaries. They should all be quite big.

Does building really take hours to complete?

It depends on your hardware

There are still Qt libraries needed.

What does qmake -v return? Does it point to the static version of Qt?

Plus the poppler. How can I link the poppler statically?

You need to build the library statically. As far as I remember poppler is built using autotools so running configure --help might be a good place to start.
