I deleted the whole lib/ directory along with fonts and readme.
I didn't touch bin/ directory, all files are still there
win32-g++/qmake.conf, I didn't add "DEFINES += QT_STATIC_BUILD"
also not this: bin\qmake.exe projects.pro QT_BUILD_PARTS=”libs” JAVASCRIPTCORE_JIT=”yes”

helps me a lot, after days tearing out my hair.

Could You Explain Even more on this

if all you need is a static build of Qt, done with mingw, do the following:

extract Qt-...-src.zip (that is without any temporary file that mighjt disturb) :)

Change path-to-qt\mkspecs\win32-g++\qmake.conf:
@
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -Os -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
QMAKE_LFLAGS = -static -static-libgcc -enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

cd %qtdir%
configure -static -release -no-exceptions -[other parameters like -mmx -sse -sse2 -3dnow etc...]
mingw32-make sub-src [here you can make some coffee etc.. it will take some time]
@

If you use webkit, you have to change the webkit pri file also:
\src\3rdparty\webkit\ WebKit.pri:
CONFIG += staticlib

For builds after making the changes in the config files, I used a batch file:
@set QTDIR=D:\Developement\Qt\2010.04\qt_static
set PATH=D:\Developement\Qt\2010.04\qt_static\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;D:\Developement\Qt\2010.04\bin;D:\Developement\Qt\2010.04\mingw\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;%SystemRoot%\System32
set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++

mingw32-make confclean
configure.exe -release -confirm-license -qt-libpng -opensource -no-incredibuild-xge -process -static
mingw32-make

you can have a look at the wiki: "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

The solution for me is the following currently:

Download Qt SDK 4.7.0 (4.7.1 - 4.7.3 not working):

ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.05.exe

(from ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk)

Statically build Qt according to instructions:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7.1/deployment-windows.html#static-linking

Statically build your apps according to the above instructions.

I hope these will help you.
