[solved] Qt5: Deploying an Application on Windows - Static Linking


  • Hello,

    I downloaded qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0.zip and followed tutorial at
    "http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html
    with these parametres:
    @
    configure -prefix

    0

  • Shouldn't I have libQt5Multimedia.a or something similar in C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0\qtbase\lib? Because I have libQt5Core.a, libQt5Gui.a, libQt5Network.a and libQt5Widgets.a in there.

    How can I force configure (and mingw32-make) to create libQt5Multimedia.a?

  • it seems that the Qt Multimedia module is missing, as it is also indicated by the relevant qmake error.
    you can also verify this by checking if the qtmultimedia directory is present in the Qt source directory (it's most likely missing).

    head over to "qt downloads":http://download.qt-project.org/development_releases/qt/5.1/ and after you select your version of Qt 5.1, head over to the submodules directory and locate the qtmultimedia package.

    download, follow the instructions and install it. just make sure you provide the same path for it as the rest of your already installed Qt has
    (although, i don't recall if it's asked during the build/installation)

    hope this helps

  • It was first thing I checked. There is qtmultimedia directory in C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0, so I think I have configure with bad/incomplete parameters.

    There is the tail of configures output:

  • i don't think qt-everywhere contains every possible submodule, and if that is so, that's why you don't see the lines you suggested in you last post.

    either try the installers from "here":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.0/ (top level directory)

    or

    try installing the qtmultimedia submodule as i suggested in last post (also the link above "submodules" directory)

  • I figured it out. There is qtmultimedia folder in qt-everywhere, but the configure does not create a Makefile (don't know why), so I had to create it manualy. There are updated steps I used to build Qt5 statically:
    @
    configure -static -debug-and-release -opensource -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip declarative -skip quick1 -skip quickcontrols -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -no-opengl -platform win32-g++
    mingw32-make
    @
    @
    cd qtmultimedia
    C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0\qtbase\bin\qmake C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0\qtmultimedia\qtmultimedia.pro -o Makefile
    mingw32-make -f Makefile
    cd ../
    @
    @
    mingw32-make
    mingw32-make install
    @
