Link with libraries from lib folder?
-
Hello. In the QT/VERSION/msvc2019_64 folder, there are several folders. One is the bin folder and another is the lib folder. The bin contains DLL files and the lib folder contains the static files. These are installed by the installer. How can I link to the static libraries instead of the dynamic libraries? The wiki mentions a configure command, but that's nowhere to be found. I'm using qmake with a .pro file

the lib folder contains the static files.
No, it just contains the static import libraries neede to link against the dlls

Then you don't need to care about where the import libs are - qmake knows it.

Okay. So, then how would I link qt statically?

Hi,
You first have to build Qt statically yourself.

Okay. Thank you. Since I'm using a workflow that doesn't download the source files, I've decided to just build with dll's.
