Hello,

Because of some issues i had with a customer, i decided to link my applications as a static set of libraries. For this project, i'm working with Windows XP Pro, Qt 4.7.1 OpenSource and Visual Studio 2008 (With the VSAddIn). Therefore i have compiled Qt in a separated folder (C:/Qt/4.7.1/Static) by changing a few files in the mkspecs as explained in the Trolltech doc.

Then, i have changed my VS projects configuration to link against QtCore.lib / QtCoreb.lib instead of QtCore4.lib / QtCore4.lib, and so on for each required library (QtMain, QtCore, QtGui, QtNetwork, etc). i also have changed the runtimes for /MD in release and /MDd in debug.

One of my application compiles fine, and runs. Another one doesn't. The only difference i can see between those two is that the one not compiling links against QtNetwork, the other not.

Here comes my linker's log:
