no qt platform could be initialized
-
If you want to build a fully static executable, you have to first build all its dependencies statically too.
Which also means that you have to properly abide to the conditions of the licenses of said dependencies.
-
I followed instructions of one blog, but I don't know if all the dependencies are built statically too. Could you let me know whether the commands below build all the dependencies statically?
- add to qmake
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static -static-libgcc
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE -= -O2
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE += -Os -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
DEFINES += QT_STATIC_BUILD
-
add an environment path
set Path=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin;%PATH% -
Move to Src folder, and command
configure -static -release -platform win32-g++ -prefix C:\Qt\Static\5.10.0 -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -no-openssl -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -
next
mingw32-make -k -j4
mingw32-make -k install -
add to qmake.conf
CONFIG += static
- add to qmake
-
Did you also fully re-build your application with that new Qt build of yours ?
-
@Aaron-Kim Full rebuild means: delete build directory, run qmake, build
-

I'm trying to build an application statically and I compiled and set configurations for corresponding qmake.exe
However, when I execute the file which is built by the manual static kit, the error occurs and message is like below. (Strange thing is, this error doesn't occur when I run it in the Qt creator. Only when I execute the result exe file directly)
This application failed to start because no qt platform plugin could be initialized.
I can not find any other post that shows same error message as mine. How can I solve this problem? I don't know if it will be helpful, I'll attach the compile output.23:36:46: Running steps for project untitled...

you must create a directory called "platforms". In the next step you copy the qwindows.dll in the platform directory.
You find the dll usually in C:\Qt\Qtx.y.z\x.y.z\mingw73_64\plugins\platforms -
