[SOLVED] Static Qt build on Windows Fails: Missing libintl-8.dll

[powerofpi]

Hello all,

I am trying to statically link and build a desktop Qt application of mine for release. I am following these "instructions":http://www.formortals.com/how-to-statically-link-qt-4/. I successfully configured Qt with the following command:

bq. configure -release -static -platform win32-g++ -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -nomake examples -nomake demos -no-exceptions -no-stl -no-rtti -no-qt3support -no-scripttools -no-openssl -no-opengl -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-plastique -no-sql-sqlite

However, when I get to the step of actually building it (mingw32-make), the build eventually fails, giving me:

bq. ar.exe - System Error: The program can't start because libintl-8.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I have no idea how to resolve this. I am using MinGW with the win32-g++ compiler. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I have not read the instructions you are using, but did you read the following "wiki article":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_build_a_static_Qt_version_for_Windows_with_gcc ? This describes how to do it and for me, it worked without problems...

I'll look at it and give it a try, thanks.

The directions you linked to were a lot more complete, and worked perfectly for me. Thanks, solved!
