QT 5.11 from source statically linked using CMake issues

Slei

Hey,

I'm currently trying to create a project with statically linked QT built from source.
I'm using CMake, and I'm getting lots of different unresolved external symbol erros due to some mussing libs I guess.

I've tried to add one lib after another and now I can't find the rest.

Currently my CMake libraries looks like this

sQT
        target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC
                Qt5::Core
                Qt5::Quick
                Qt5::Multimedia
                Qt5::QuickControls2
                Qt5::Widgets
                )

 target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE
                sQt
                Ws2_32.lib
                Version.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/qtharfbuzzd.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/qtlibpngd.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/qtpcre2d.lib
                Netapi32.lib
                userenv.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/plugins/platforms/qwindowsd.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/qtfreetyped.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/libEGLd.lib
                C:/qt_src/install/lib/libGLESv2d.lib
                winmm.lib
                imm32.lib
                )

And I'm still getting plentyt of those issues but can't find the correct libs to add:

qwindowsd.lib(qwindowsintegration.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __cdecl QWindowsFontDatabase::QWindowsFontDatabase(void)" (??0QWindowsFontDatabase@@QEAA@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual class QPlatformFontDatabase * __cdecl QWindowsIntegration::fontDatabase(void)const " (?fontDatabase@QWindowsIntegration@@UEBAPEAVQPlatformFontDatabase@@XZ)

and more........ (seems like I'm not allowed to post the whole thing)



those errors are getting out of control and i would need some help

thanks

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>

#include <QtPlugin>
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN (QWindowsIntegrationPlugin);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 QApplication app (argc, argv);

 QPushButton button ("Hello world !");
 button.show();

 return app.exec();
}

I've also added the plugin stuff on top of the test app.

I've know just added all libraries from the lib folder, without knowing wich one i need, since it was extremely painful to track down the correct libs.
I somehow can't really believe this is so complicated to link those libs especially there isn't really a tutorial/list for which libs are required for a simple qt app, or is just much easier with qmake instead of cmake?

anyway it works now.
