[SOLVED]QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -static doesn't work

[jamj2000]

I trying to create a statically linked application.

For simplicity I created a Non-Qt Project --> Plain C Text like this:

@#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}@

If I compile and link in a terminal:

gcc -static -c -o main main.c

or if I do in 2 steps:

gcc -static -c -o main.o main.c
g++ -static -o main main.o

I get a statically linked application, but if I do in QtCreator it doesn't work.
My .pro file is:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt
QT -= core gui

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -static
QMAKE_CFLAGS = -static

SOURCES += main.c

and the senteces that make execute are:

gcc -c -static -O2 -Wall -W -DQT_WEBKIT -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -o main.o main.c
g++ -m64 -Wl,-O1 -o prueba main.o

¿Why it doesn't appear option -static in g++?

I also tried with QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -static and QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_DEBUG = -static with identical result.

Hi,

IIRC, -static is a linker flag, so you might want to try to add it to QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE/QMAKE_LFLAGS.

Thank you so much, SGaist.

It works if my .pro file is:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt
QT -= core gui

QMAKE_CFLAGS = -static
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static

SOURCES += main.c
