Want a static database plugin - tried a lot but have still DLL dependecies.

[Heisp]

Hi,

I want to distribute one executable file of my application which should be able to connect to a PostgreSQL database. After I did spend hours on compiling a static version of Qt I hoped that I can get one executables which has no external dependencies on any DLL.

So that's what I did so far:

1. As descripted in this article I changed the VS environmet to be able to create static Qt.

2.

configure -static -platform win32-msvc.net -qt-sql-psql -I C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.1\include -L C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\ms

After that I did run

nmake sub-src

I thought that the nmake process will create a static version of the qsql plugin!!

3. I changed the main function of my project and added the following lines:

#include <QtPlugin>
 
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qsqlpsql)

#include <QtPlugin>

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qsqlpsql)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The tool compiled succesfull without any errors. After that I checked the dependencies of my new executable and saw that it refers to the LIBPQ.DLL which, of course, refers to some other DLLs, too.

Is there anything I have to change for a static version of my tool. I do not want these dependencies to the libpq.dll.

Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
