How I can create an exe with static links instead of dynamic?

mandruk1331

I want everything to be in the exe file, so there won't be any of the dll.
P.S. I don't use any 3rd libraries.

@mandruk1331 You will need a static Qt build

@jsulm and after that what I have to do? I also have an SQL database.

@mandruk1331 Then you link against those static libs.
You should read http://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/qtee-static-linking.html

@jsulm thank you for the ref.

Note that to use Qt and static linking, you must

own a commercial licence for Qt
OR
Your app is fully open source and you provide link where user can get all of the source code.

Just so you know before using 3 hours to compile Qt as static :)

@mrjj and if the source, for some reasons, is on a private GitHub, but after everything will be finished it will be open-sourced, will that be ok?

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer
If the source is available when the product is released and the about clearly state its
open source , get it here blabla
using Qt etc

It should be super fine as far as I know.
