Thanks for suggestion... I have posted it to development@qt-project.org mailing list... They've solved similar problem with "windows" platform plugin statical linking before, now it works good, thanks to them.. Interesting what's the problem with "qtquick2plugin" ?...

There is not any feedback or comments for my e-mail, sent to development@qt-project.org mailing list. Also bugreport is not evaluated and not even commented for over week. Total ignoring...

You've got a comment yesterday, but indeed not much is going on.

Ah, yes, you are right...
I'll try to be patient

Which bug report is that?

Avassen put the link in the original post. Here it is again: "link":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357.

I know that i write about it again and again, but QML and QtQuick.2 is TOTALLY NOT WORKING WITH STATIC QT 5.0 BUILD and it seems to be ignored...

Already two Qt-5-release-candidates has been celebrated, and it was written by Lars Knoll in the blog: "I’d like to invite as many people as possible to give the RC2 a try and report back any issues that you find. If everything goes well, we will hopefully be able to release Qt 5.0.0 final next week!".

This is the "next week", but my bugreport is not evaluated and not even commented by responsible or relevant devs for about 2 weeks. And my message to 'Development' mail-list was not reviewed for approval for 10 days. All in spite of that it's a serious important issue! Strange....

Googling shows that this problem is far from annoying only me. And as for me - i alredy don't hope for resolution, i hope at least for ANY feedback from issue-relevant devs...

Ah! Just now i see that after the previous post the bugreport was evaluated by Lars Knoll, good news for me! Thank you! :-). https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357
Now i see that it was at least considered and accepted and may will be fixed in 5.0.1 version.

4 months have passed.... 5.0.1 has been released almost two months ago... There are no any solutions... ((

I assume that you're using the commercial license if you're using static linking. If so, maybe send an email to Tukka Turunen or another person in Digia, with details of your exact problem. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how static linkage would affect the various plugins to the QML core, to be able to offer any suggestions.

The other possibility is to ping aalpert on #qt-qml freenode as he is maintainer of the QtDeclarative module now.

Cheers,
Chris.

At the moment i'm trying to test Qt 5 open-source version for my personal testing purposes with simple "Hello World" QML apps.
I look closely to Qt for a long time and i want to convince my company management to migrate to Qt 5 and QtQuick framework from Embarcadero RAD Studio (aka Borland, VCL) purchasing Qt commercial licence for future development. And the only thing that i can't explain to them is impossibility of creating standalone QML-applications, consisting of one executable file as it was possible before with RAD Studio...

What if not?

If you're not using the commercial version, all I can suggest is upvoting the bug report, so that it is more likely to get attention quicker than if it wasn't upvoted, and also asking Alan about it on IRC.

If you are intending to use the commercial version, and you are evaluating it with that specific purpose in mind, then I really suggest sending an email to Tukka Turunen with your query, as he is probably the best person to talk to about this matter.

Cheers,
Chris.

Any news on this issue? According to the bug tracker, this bug is scheduled for fix in 5.0.2, but I tried 5.0.2-rc1, and it still cannot use QtQuick2 when statically built… :-(

Avassen · wrote on 9 Apr 2013, 13:44

Yes, already Qt 5.1 alpha is available http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/08/qt-5-1-alpha-available/, but it's total silence on this global bug.

I wait for fix very long time too...
May be fix is difficult but there are only 4 votes in the bugreport at the moment and fix-priority is too low for the Devs?

Somebody else, who interested in the fix, please vote for it in the bugreport!

Don't worry, issues with dozens of votes doesn't seem to be in a rush as well.

Avassen: I have the same issue with you. I voted :)

Melph · wrote on 19 May 2013, 08:54

I stumbled upon it, too.
I also wrote to the mailing list... I really hope it will be fixed in 5.1.0

To take this one step further, it doesn't seem you can use a static build of qt with Qt5Widgets and the QtQuickLayoutsPlugin. It generates already defined linker erros in vs2012.

Is this suppose to be the case?
