Qt 4.7.0 statically compiled and Qt Creator

[Suppaman]

Hi all,

I'm new to Qt programming. I want to develop a application based to these libraries but using static version for create a unique .exe file without the dll.
I followed this tutorial for compile Qt in static mode:

http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.p...c_applications

The operation seem successfull but if I try to compile the project (using Qt Creator 2.0) with these "new" libraries I receive the following error:

Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.

I checked the wiki looking for additional settings to change in the Qt Creator but it seem the additional explanation refer to the old 1.x version.

Someone can help me?

Thank you

Show the .pro file of your project

Follow the pro file content:

#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Project created by QtCreator 2010-10-11T14:03:47
#
#-------------------------------------------------

QT += core gui

TARGET = test
TEMPLATE = app


SOURCES += main.cpp\
mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS += mainwindow.h

FORMS += mainwindow.ui

You forgot something in your .pro file.
Read that wiki page again.

Hi

if you refer to add the variable

CONFIG += static

or

CONFIG += staticlib

I already tried but doesn't work, same error. I missing someother?

[tbscope]

Clean your project completely, even the Makefile (remove it)
Then run qmake again (that is the qmake of your static Qt build)
Then build it again.

It work! Thank you very much. I checked again the wiki but I didn't find this tip. I'm sorry if this information was present but I didn't note them....
