Hello everybody,

I recently deployed a program in which I was required to run "configure -static" such that the program only needed to be distributed with the mingwm10.dll file. Now I would like to go back to shared DLL Qt! Can I undo what I have done to make Qt static?

Secondly, the program I wrote was not anything special. A QDialog with some conversion between numbers. Why is it 11mB and why do I necessarily need to distribute it with mingwm10.dll? It'd be nice to have a less than 1mB program that was completely stand alone. Is that possible?

Is it possible to install two of the same versions of Qt - one static, one shared? If so, how would I differentiate all of the commands for each Qt configuration?

Cheers,
Tom

Alright, I guess that sounds reasonable. If I want something small I should just use VS for windows only apps!

How about the other question of having two of the same versions of Qt, but building one statically...
I want something like this for lack of better description:

C:\Qt\4.5.1\
C:\Qt\4.5.1_STATIC\

How could I differentiate their separate qmake files?
Or am I crazy and I can just build any individual program statically without having to build Qt statically first?

Cheers,
Tom
