[Solved] MinGW can't find libraries when compiling static build.
-
Hello everyone. I am having a problem when trying to compile a static build for QT using MinGW.
I think it's attempting to find the libraries that are made during the compile process, but can't find them for some reason, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me with that?
This is a log of the failed build:

You may need to add
-qt-libwebpand friends to configure, but a normal static build should already do that. -

Mhm, I suspected that. Definitely, the problem is with media codecs (MNG, WebP and so on). I have not encountered this. Can you tell us which Qt version are you trying to compile, what were your configure flags, and how you acquired Qt source code (because the code you get from Qt Maintenance Tool will not compile).

@sierdzio I'm trying to compile version 5.4.1, and I got the source from here http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2 (It's in other downloads)
And here are my flags for configure:
configure -static -release -opensource -opengl desktop -openssl-linked OPENSSL_LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32" -nomake examples

Looks fine. I do not know why are you getting this bug
