pro-file: force link with static library

debian · 2 Oct 2018, 10:14

Hello, I use Qt-5.11.1 and QWebSockets, for this I add QT += websockets to pro-file.
I can build shared and static libQt5WebSockets, but how can I force link with static library in pro-file?
Thank you excuse my bad english.

it depends which Qt kit you are using in the end. The linked lib decides if it's static or dynamic.
You can't mix them anyway in a single Qt installation.

@raven-worx sorry, I not understand.
If I have both, static and shared, libraries in same directory linker choose shared libraries, how can I force use static library in this case?

exactly. why do you have static and dynamic libs in the same folder in the first place?!

Why not?
So I can't force use static library in pro-file and should story static and shared libraries in different directories?
Thank you.

exactly, thats what i already said.
Your Qt installation should either be compiled dynamic or static.

the main reason is:
QT += websockets adds linker commands for a specific lib name to the makefile for build.

You renamed your static libs and copied them beside the dynamic ones?
