I followed this 2 guides to develop a static build of the Qt 4.8.0:

"How to build a static Qt version for Windows with GCC":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_build_a_static_Qt_version_for_Windows_with_gcc
"Compile QT 4.8.0 with MinGW":http://binshi.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/compile-qt-480-with-mingw.html

I downloaded the file qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0.zip
I installed Perl (as discovered in the second link)
I installed MinGW with all stuff and added the bin folder to the PATH enviroments

Then I extracted the zip file to C:\ and renamed the folder to "qt-static"
I done the changes explained in the first link above at section: "Editing the config files for static build" and finally I done all steps in the next section of the guide.

After about 4 hours of compiling, the compiler shows the error! :(
I try to recompile an older version, the Qt 4.7.0; same error!

Where did I go wrong? Please help I'm a newbe of Qt!

Static build of webkit is not supported. You should call configure with -no-webkit. see the docs: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/platform-notes.html, that page has gone for 4.8 docs, unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure this holds true for that version too.

Perfect, I replaced the switch -webkit with -no-webkit, and has built it correctly! That guide should be updated ;)

I have the same problem on qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0. But even I use shared build for embedded arm. It still happens.

My configure on QtEmbedded is as below:
./configure -prefix PATH -embedded arm -make tools -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -v -qt-mouse-tslib -I’tslib PATH’/include -L’tslib PATH’/lib -qt-gfx-vnc

If I add “-no-webkit “ as below, it works. But I need uiloader and webkit at the same time.So, how do I do?
./configure -prefix PATH -embedded arm -make tools -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -v -no-webkit -qt-mouse-tslib -I’tslib PATH’/include -L’tslib PATH’/lib -qt-gfx-vnc
