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

[mandruk1331]

@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.

@mandruk1331
Note that to use Qt and static linking, you must

1. own a commercial licence for Qt
   OR
2. 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.
