How to statically compile my project with Qt on Linux

**pellyhawk** · 29th June 2012, 14:57

I would like to statically compile my project with Qt on Linux, how should I do?

I used the command:

Qt Code:

Switch view

./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -nomake demos -nomake examples -qt-sql-sqlite -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static
make
make install

./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -nomake demos -nomake examples -qt-sql-sqlite -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static
make
make install

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

then what should I do? Thanks!

I used the command:

And?
What are the results?

This command should build a static Qt lib, which you need if you want to build your application with Qt statically.
Now you need to build your project and link to the static Qt lib which you just built with above command.

My project (I compiled it dynamically successfully before) is located at /mnt/hgfs/VBox_Shared/SeaTools, then:

Qt Code:

Switch view

cd /mnt/hgfs/VBox_Shared/SeaTools
make

cd /mnt/hgfs/VBox_Shared/SeaTools
make

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

but cannot continue. Then add

Qt Code:

Switch view

QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static

QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

after

Qt Code:

Switch view

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += . debug include release translations
INCLUDEPATH += . include
QT           += network

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += . debug include release translations
INCLUDEPATH += . include
QT           += network

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I got error results:

Qt Code:

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Or I modified Makefile by:

Qt Code:

Switch view

CXXFLAGS = -static -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 -mcpu=pentiumpro  -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SHARED -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT

CXXFLAGS = -static -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 -mcpu=pentiumpro  -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SHARED -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

and got similar error results.

what is the location of yuor static qt libs?

you are building a debug project and linking to a release Qt lib.

How did you know it? I am a newbie. And what shall I do next? Thanks.

You can see in your compilation log that you are using Qt located in /usr/ and not in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static.

What does qmake -v return?

**high_flyer** · 2nd July 2012, 11:53

How did you know it?

That is what you configured.
When building Qt:

./configure -static -release

Actually I am not sure if your project build is just debug both debug and release.
Try putting this in your projects *.pro file:
CONFIG = release

In addition, I see your lib search path for your porject is not correct:
-L/usr/lib
Try adding
LIBS += -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static/lib

mike@mike-desktop:/lib$ qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.7.3 in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static/lib

Is this is the location of static Qt lib?

**wysota** · 2nd July 2012, 14:26

Good. So now cd to the directory containing your project, run qmake and only then run make.

Yes, I add "CONFIG = release" at .pro file.

Qt Code:

Switch view

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += . debug include release translations
INCLUDEPATH += . include
QT           += network
CONFIG += static

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += . debug include release translations
INCLUDEPATH += . include
QT           += network
CONFIG += static

Do I add it right?

And I add "LIBS += -L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3-static/lib" at .pro or Makefile?

You told me that "lib search path for your porject is not correct". Do found it by "g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -Iinclude -I. -I. -o addgrptabledelegate.o addgrptabledelegate.cpp" (SHARED???)

Thanks.
