I am trying to figure out how to compile Qt4.3.3 as a static library,

Qt Enthusiast

I have to make stattic libraries of qt4.3.3 (QtGui.a) and QtCore.a and want to link it to my tools

I did following steps

checkout out commercial source code of QT (4.3.3)
cd qt-all-commercial-src-4.3.3
/configure -release -static -largefile -qt3support -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -glib -platform linux-g++-64 -confirm-license -no-openssl -no-qdbus -prefix ./lib_new66 -prefix-install -opengl17:10

Then I manually removed -fvisibility=hidden and -fvisibility-inlines-hidden from all makefiles generated

also put -fpermissive
it is there in all make files

The static libraries were build but when I am linking in my tools I am getting following error undefined reference to symbol 'XRenderCreateGlyphSet'

is there any expert who can guide me what is correct way to make and link static library of qt.4.3.3

Hi,

Looks like you also need to link to libXft.

My question when I see the configure option help then I get

-no-xinerama ....... Do not compile Xinerama (multihead) support.

-xinerama .......... Compile Xinerama support.
Requires X11/extensions/Xinerama.h and libXinerama.

dditional options:

-make <part> ....... Add part to the list of parts to be built at make time.
                     (libs tools examples demos)
-nomake <part> ..... Exclude part from the list of parts to be built.

-R <string> ........ Add an explicit runtime library path to the Qt
                     libraries.
-l <string> ........ Add an explicit library.

what does the last line mean , do I have to manually include libXinerama in while doing a configure because flile

/configure -release -static -largefile -qt3support -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -glib -platform linux-g++-64 -confirm-license -no-openssl -no-qdbus -prefix ./lib_new66 -prefix-instal -lXinerama
otherwise the tools gives linking errors for these libraries

One observation i found out if I build dynamic libraries using source code of qt.4.3.3 the
/configure -release -largefile -qt3support -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -glib -platform linux-g++-64 -confirm-license -no-openssl -no-qdbus -prefix ./lib_new66_52 -prefix-install -opengl -sm -lSM -lICE -xshape -lX11 -xinerama -lXinerama -xcursor -lXcursor -xfixes -lXfixes -xrandr -lXrandr -xrender -lXrender -fontconfig -lfontconfig -tablet -lXi -xkb -glib -lglib-2.0 -lXext -lz -lgthread-2.0

the tools is working fine , I am able to link it but if

I make static library of same source code by using following steps I am able to link it to my tool and i

/configure -static -release -largefile -qt3support -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -glib -platform linux-g++-64 -confirm-license -no-openssl -no-qdbus -prefix ./lib_new66_52 -prefix-install -opengl -sm -lSM -lICE -xshape -lX11 -xinerama -lXinerama -xcursor -lXcursor -xfixes -lXfixes -xrandr -lXrandr -xrender -lXrender -fontconfig -lfontconfig -tablet -lXi -xkb -glib -lglib-2.0 -lXext -lz -lgthread-2.0

The changes I have done in my Makefile of the tool as added a line
SLIBS += QtGui QtCore SM ICE Xinerama Xcursor Xrandr Xrender fontconfig Xi Xfixes glib-2.0 freetype Xext z gthread-2.0

The tools crashes . Can someone guide me how to resolve the issue . What is there I am missing

The last line means that you can link Qt against a specific version of a library

What do you mean by crashes ?

@SGaist
When I do a make in my application , there is no compilation and linking error

but when I start he application , the applications at runtime crashes

I also did an experiment , I tried to make a standalone hello worl application and linked it this static library and it is working fine

What can be the cause of the crash at runtime

Run your application through the debugger to get a hint at what exactly goes wrong.
