Qt5 CMake include all libraries into executable

**Vildnex** · 25th March 2020, 18:03

I'm trying to build a with Qt 5.14 an application on release mode and everything is working fine inside of Qt Creator, but when I'm trying to run the executable by itself I'm getting an error like this:

----------

**OS:** Windows 10

**Qt:** 5.14

**Cmake:** 3.5

**What I've tried:**

1. set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -static")
2. set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++0x -fPIC")
3. ${ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES} -static inside of target_link_libraries

None of the above worked for me and I'm getting the same error whenever I'm trying to run the executable by its self without using Qt Creator.
