QT4.8.3+Windows Static Libs Building Project problem
I know this question was asked 1 milion times but none actually ever solved what I am looking for or posted FULL explanation how to (even was reading sites on Russian).
I have rebuild QT using <QTDIR>\configure -static -other-options
someone else mentioned several times that I need to change qmake settings, someone else also said I need to change mkspecs...
so I've was changing everything they said (which I guess is stupidest thing, but I need to link static libs to one project no excuse, or bye bye QT from that project).
rebuilt 2 times QT and resolved all MS linker errors, but I am stuck with QT linker errors constantly.
What I have done is following:
- rebuilt QT statically (was not clearing with nmake hoping I can reuse dynamic linking for other projects, should I clear?)
- set project to include static libraries
- set ignoring MSVC runtime libs to resolve linker problems (2 errors were there, that symbol is already defined)
- Hit rebuild and got only QT LINKING ERRORS (have no warnings at all, only errors full list follows):

And after this I have absolutely no idea.
Normally I usually simply include static libs and set project setting to compile with /MT instead of /MD and everything works fine (maybe few tweaks from time to time, but nothing like this).
Can someone please point me to COMPLETE tutorial how to rebuild QT to static lib for successful building of msvs2008 apps.
Also it would be nice to have both dynamic and static versions side by side if someone have posted HOT TO somewhere.
PS: I can restore full QT original installation (zipped everything before this mess).
