Help making Qt 4.7 static

[tinoO]

hey

i wrote an simple calculator with QT-GUI-Application. Everthing was fine, but when i start the calc.exe he want some dll's. so i read that i have to make my qt4 static to get an *.exe without dll's.
i follow the instruction at http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Build_Static_Qt_For_Windows_With_Gcc_German

but i get an error and dont know what to do know :(

need some help
cant be that writing an application is easier then making the exe...

This is linked to ascii versus unicode strings.

Windows API Postifixed by 'A' take ASCII strings whereas standard take WCHAR unicode strings.

=> if you look at the code of qglobal, it's using the standard function (e.g. FormatMessage and not FormatMessageA). As your compiler says explicitely you're using the 'A' version, most probably, a macro is somewhere aliasing it...
A quick search in standard v4.7.1 code doesn't show any of these occurrences, so it's either in your compiler (i don't have mingwin here) or related to your configure
