Build QT static libraries, with LinuxFB and minimum dependencies.

Reffum

Hi! I need to create application for embedded Linux systems. On this Linux system I have only Linux kernel, modules and Busybox.
I want create QT windows application and install it to my embedded systems. Now I need only qt base and widgets. How to make do it right and easily?
My platforms: PC Virtual Box and Raspberry PI for debug. And my ARM Custom Board.
I try create this application for PC. I download QT sources, build it with configure -static option and install. I also add to PATH variable. But when I build simple application it depend from several libraries. I have this errors when run qmake && make:

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If you want a full static build then you also need to build Qt with its dependencies as static libraries.

On a side note, don't forget the licensing implication when doing static builds.
