but compiler can not find it. how can i add this directory to compiler include path?

If you use the gcc from C:\Programs\Qt\Tools\mingw1120_64\bin, the directory is part of the compiler default include path. Which gcc are you using (which path shows up if you run "where gcc")?

@kkoehne
It is the output of CMD:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1110]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Z:\>where gcc
C:\Programs\Qt\Tools\mingw1120_64\bin\gcc.exe
C:\Programs\Strawberry\c\bin\gcc.exe

it seems true.

@vakh You have two GCCs installed. Check the build log to see which one is used during the build.

I solve it. but nothing changed:

i think the problem is related to Ninja.

@vakh You are apparently usingf wrong compiler!
Start from scratch: delete build folder, create new one and continue with the build. It should now pick up the correct compiler.

@jsulm thanks a lot. after I see your answer, I tested it. the problem solved. but another problem appeared.

is it for little RAM? my system is intel core i5 6500T with 8 GB RAM and 58 GB free space on drive C. (I test this procedure two times and it failed because of low space on memory. then i solve it but now it failed with this error).

Yes. You can limit the number of parallel compiler processes using make instead of ninja. For example to only use 4 processes do: make -j 4.

thanks a lot! QT static compile successfully done :)
now after adding this new qmake.exe to project development kit, I face a new problem. As I said before, doing this steps in ubuntu and macOS solved the need for shared libraries and application works without any problems in other computers (without QT installation). but here after doing all of these steps, application in windows need other libraries like "libgcc_s_seh-1.dll". how can I solve this problem?

Well, you would also have to compile all these libraries as static libraries and rebuild your app...
