Mingw32 link issue with Qlocalsocket and libimm32 not found

Have an issue when linking QT libraries. Static build of QT 5.8.0 and linking and this is the error that is received:
checking QtPlugin usability... yes
checking QtPlugin presence... yes
checking for QtPlugin... yes
checking QApplication usability... yes
checking QApplication presence... yes

configure: error: libimm32 not found

Have tried everything to resolve this issue and have not found any answer. Here is the configure command used:

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you using the MinGW distribution provided by Qt ?

mvcv114

Thanks for replying!

No - I am using the from mingw with the PONIX/dwarf toolchain., though I will say that the version is the same (5.3.0) - confirmed everything within the environment. I tried compiling using the mingw included, but could never get the static libraries to build - most likely because of a configuration/environment issue.

SGaist

Do you mean you had the same error with the MinGW provided with Qt ?

mvcv114

No - I downloaded the mingw environment and toolchain - made sure I was using the same version (5.3.0) that was bundled with 5.8.0 Everything and Installer - when I compile within the mingw environment (installed from mingw) - I am able to build static 5.8.0 libraries for QT. If I try to build using the mingw library that comes with QT, I cannot get it to compile - numerous errors. I see that 5.9.0 is available and will try compiling using that with the mingw environment included. The biggest problem is that some of the embedded libraries (ssl) conflict with the versions trying to compile outside.

This is the script used to create the library (run as a cmd within windows command prompt, 32 bit):

For OpenSSL, ensure that you are using a version below 1.1. The 1.1 release broke compatibility with older version. There's a new backend in the making for that but it's not yet ready.

mvcv114

Thanks - will certainly try that because downloaded and tried using 5.9.0 - compiled without issue (QT) and the exact same error occurred. Will get a 1,1 version and post if this solved the issue.

SGaist

WARNING I wrote below 1.1 so a 1.0.X release.

mvcv114

Recompiled using Openssl 1.0.1l. (clean and make) - openssl is placed in usr/local/ssl path so no change of writing over standard library files.

No change - the exact same error; also, pushed the 5.9.0 bin folder to be at the end of the general PATH statement:
PATH=%PATH%;I:\QT\build\32\5.9.0\bin

Opening MINGW environment thereafter:
cd C:\MinGW\msys\1.0
msys.bat

Can you add the -v option ? So you'll have more information about what is currently failing.
