    Qt Version: 6.2.0, MinGW, 64-bit
    OS: Window 10

    Hello,

    I have built Qt6 statically like this. I added qmake to setting but I have this error: Qt version is not properly installed, please run make install:

    I tried to add qmake6 too:

      In the past this was 100% not allowed. Nowadays - I'm not sure. I think you need to pass the relocatable flag to configure and I am not sure if it works with static builds.

        Wrong path? You are installing into drive C, after all: -prefix "C:\Qt\Qt6.2.0_MinGW_Static". That's where your installed Qt will be.

        Have run make install like the error message suggests?

              @sierdzio you are right. Thank you very much! I placed Qt_Static back and it works now:

              Static Release was created and It works:
