Is there anything missing to add or modification ?

All static libs are correctly installed..

Apparently you're building your project in debug mode. Try to build in release mode.

@jsulm
I have switched from debug to edit mode then rebuild but result was same.

This is not what I mean!
You can build an application either in debug or release mode, has nothing to do with Edit.
So, please on the left bottom side (bellow "Projects") click on your project name and select "Release" there.
Note: without debug versions of Qt libraries (they have a trailing "d" in their names) you will not be able to build your project in debug mode to debug it.
