    Hi,
    I built my QT statically by configuring as follows (platform is Win32 bit VS2008)
    configure -static -no-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -no-opengl -platform win32-msvc2008
    and the did nmake.

    Now I want my app to link dynamically against the statically built QT.
    I would really appreciate your help in knowing how to do it?

    Note: My app will also load some QT static plugins by using Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN, Is it possible with dynamically linked app against statically linked QT.

    Thanks

      What do you mean by dynamically link against static library?

        I mean I want to link my app dynamically against QT. (QT was statically linked)
        Is it even possible here?

          I afraid no. You should have two different qt instances (one dynamically linked and one statically linked).

            Thanks Denis.
            I have one more question:
            Lets say I build my QT dynamic linked and then link my app against it.
            Can my app still use some static linked plugins from QT by doing Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN or thats also not possible.

              It's possible. Just make sure you put a CONFIG += static into the .pro file for the plugin...
