<![CDATA[unable to configure dds and mng for static QT build]]>I don't seem to be able to figure out the correct options for configure in QT 5.12.12 so that the static versions of dds and mng libraries are built.

Darryls-Mac-Pro:Src dtorske$ ./configure --prefix=/Users/dtorske/Qt5.12.12/5.12.12-src/clang_64-static -static -release -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz -qt-libmng -v

  • cd qtbase
  • /Users/dtorske/Qt5.12.12-src/5.12.12/Src/qtbase/configure -top-level --prefix=/Users/dtorske/Qt5.12.12/5.12.12-src/clang_64-static -static -release -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz -qt-libmng -v
    Creating qmake...
    make: Nothing to be done for `first'.
    ERROR: Unknown command line option '-qt-libmng'.

I have checked the doc's and don't find a reference on how to set this option in configure.

thanks

You have to uncomment dds in the imageformats.pro file and that will allow dds to be built. For mng, I needed to point to the library directory and include directory on the configuration command:

MNG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib MNG_INCDIR=/usr/local/include -mng

But i still can't seem to trigger configure to compile it statically along with dds. I was able to statically build everything else that i needed once if figured out the appropriate configure options. I am just stuck on these two.
