    I have been trying to build qt statically for a while now and I have had no luck building the qt libraries statically.

    I have followed all the instructions I could find from the qt website but they don't seem to be very helpful, clear or specific. So I found a new-ish guide to compiling:
    "How to build Qt 5.4 statically on Window 7":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/51117

    Since using the qt package manager kept failing to download the source libraries I found a manual download from the qt site named: qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0.zip

    Info:
    Windows 7 - 64 bit os
    Qt 5.4 - and Qt Creator
    MinGW491_32
    win32-g++

    When I run the configure it all seems to work fine until it gets to "Running configuration tests..." Here it looks like something from VS is messing the process up but I don't understand what, why or how to fix this. Here is the output that contains the issue:
    @Running configuration tests...
    In file included from arch.cpp:37:0:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include/stdio.h:77:24: error
    : redeclaration of C++ built-in type 'wchar_t' [-fpermissive]
    typedef unsigned short wchar_t;
    ^
    mingw32-make: *** [arch.o] Error 1
    Could not find output file: No such file or directory@

    Any advice for building qt statically?

      Sort out your build environment because it looks very confused:
      @
      MinGW491_32
      win32-g++
      @
      and
      @
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include/stdio.h
      @
      don't sit well together.

        I have no idea why it's looking at my VS files. Any advice on how to fix this?
