static build of Qt 5.14.0 failed with VC2019+Win10

Bo Zhang

hello,

I just download Qt and source code with online installer, and follow the guide from https://wiki.qt.io/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows to build a static Qt.
VS2019 16.4.2, Win10 x64.

Open "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019", and type:

C:\Qt\5.14.0\Src>configure -static -release -platform win32-msvc
C:\Qt\5.14.0\Src>nmake

Note: "nmake qtbase" is ok, but "nmake"(with no parameters) will fail with the following error:

cd animation\ && ( if not exist Makefile C:\Qt\5.14.0\Src\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe -o Makefile C:\Qt\5.14.0\Src\qtdeclarative\examples\quick\animation\animation.pro ) && "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.28314\bin\HostX86\x86\nmake.exe" -f Makefile
