Hello everybody,

I've done a little GUI application with Qt and I would like to link all its libraries statically so I can bring it to another PC without installing anything else.

I've downloaded Qt 4.5.3 and installed it statically. (./configure -static......)

I've added the -static and -static-libgcc option in the LFLAGS line in the Makefile and using pkg-config --static --libs "lib" I've added the dependencies of some libraries to the option LIBS. This is the result of those:
LFLAGS = -static -static-libgcc -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.3/lib
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.3/lib -lQt3Support -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.3/lib -lQtSql -pthread -lQtXml -L/usr/X11R6/lib -pthread -lQtNetwork -lQtGui -lpng -lfreetype -lSM -lICE -lXrender -lXext -lX11 -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp -lQtCore -lz -lm -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -ldl -lfontconfig -lexpat -lfreetype -lz


When executing make I obtain some warnings about glibc dependencies.

Despite this warnings I obtain the statically linked application. You can see it here:

alberto@alberto-laptop:~/Escritorio/vhdlide copy$ file ./bin/vhdlide
./bin/vhdlide: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped


The biggest problem is that when I try to execute the program there is a segmentation fault and I don't know why.

I include here the last lines of the trace of the program, I think that it can be something about librt but I don't know what.

I hope that somebody can help me because I'm going crazy, I can't find the error and I've tried lots of things.

Thank you very much in advance,
