Please Help-->have few doubts with Static build in Windows !

[Krish]

Hello! Friends,
I was able to properly deploy my application on another Windows with no Qt installed. But now as i want to kill all of its dynamic dependencies so that it works on any other operating system i.e. may be its linux or unix or any othe, i will have to build it statically but have few doubts as: -

For informing i have installed Qt4.3.4 with its binary to C:\Qt\4.3.4. Now for building static application do i have to unzip "qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.4.zip" file to say C:\Qt_static\ and then do all the procedure as mentioned here OR do i have just go to C:\Qt\4.3.4 and then use configure command. But i think by doing the later i wont be able to use both static & dynamic version of Qt, right?

As in Linux i can just mention the new directory to install static Qt as: -

On command prompt: - C:\Qt\4.3.4>configure -static -prefix C:\QT_static\4.3.4

so that i can have both static & dynamic version of Qt.

I can't use this command with windows, right? as it wont be supported!!

I will be obliged if replied--> Thanks in advance

Hmm... statically linking your application won't allow it to run on other operating systems.

For informing i have installed Qt4.3.4 with its binary to C:\Qt\4.3.4. Now for building static application do i have to unzip "qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.4.zip" file to say C:\Qt_static\ and then do all the procedure as mentioned here OR do i have just go to C:\Qt\4.3.4 and then use configure command.

The wiki article you mention also tells you to run configure.

As in Linux i can just mention the new directory to install static Qt as: -

On command prompt: - C:\Qt\4.3.4>configure -static -prefix C:\QT_static\4.3.4

so that i can have both static & dynamic version of Qt.

You can do the same on Windows.

Why not?
