The procedure entry point `wcsncpy_s` could not be located in the dynamic link library `msvcrt.dll`

LinArcX

Hi. I statically compiled qt 5.6.3 with MSVC2013 on windows 7(target -> XP), like this:

..\..\..\source\configure -debug-and-release -opensource -confirm-license -openg
l dynamic -no-warnings-are-errors -static -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwayland -skip
qtandroidextras -skip qtmacextras -skip qtx11extras -target xp -prefix "D:\myqt\5.6.3\install\msvc2013\32bit-static-only"

And i compiled a sample QtWidget application on windows 7. everything works like a charm.
But if i try to run this app on windows xp, i get the error that i mentioned.

Visual c++2013 redistributable alread installed.

@LinArcX
msvcrt.dll is a dynamic-linked DLL. I don't know how much of your end library/executable you intend to be static. It looks like wcsncpy_s --- which is a safe wide-character method --- is not in that DLL under XP.

@JonB So, how can i solve this issue?
