Configure:file not found while static linking Qt 5.4 project in linux

[gauravsehgal]

I have an application which i want to deploy using static linking.I am using Qt 5.4 and ubuntu.I learnt that to deploy my application i have to bulid qt statically using the following code
@cd /path/to/Qt
./configure -static -prefix /path/to/Qt <other parameters>
make sub-src@

i have Qt installed in home/Qt5.4.0

When i run the above code it says that @ configure:no such file@

When i check the Qt directory there is indeed no configure file.I could only find @configure.prf@

in Qt5.4.0/5.4/gcc_64/mkspecs/features/

this may be novice but how should i deploy my application now?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Maybe a silly question but did you first download Qt's sources ?
