Qt static build error: ActiveQt

I have just made my first attempt at a static build of Qt 4.6.3 (on Windows with MinGW). Unfortunately it has just thrown up a compile error ...

In file included from qaxbase.cpp:45:
qaxobject.h:44:30: error: ActiveQt/qaxbase.h: No such file or directory

From online info I see that ActiveQt is either not part of the opensource distribution, or is not buildable with MinGW tools. That's fine, I don't need it, but how can I exclude it from the build?

What I find surprising is that the shared library build of Qt worked fine.

For win32/64 I recommend MS VS express + win sdk + directx sdk as development environment.

Maybe you have forgot to clean previous (shared) build before configuring and building new one.

If I remember good - in console
>configure.exe -help
Something like -no-activeqt (something with active ax etc).

afaik if you will use static linking with Qt libraries then you will be forced to disclose any such program sources.

Not quite true - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/activeqt.html

The ActiveQt modules are part of the Qt Full Framework Edition and the Open Source Versions of Qt.

Hi, thanks for responding. I believe I did clean thoroughly, both confclean and distclean. BTW, what's the difference - do I really need to do both?
I don't see any option like -no-activeqt. The closest is -no-accessibility, but that didn't help.

I've now installed 2010.04, and am trying the static build. It goes past the activeqt compilation where it failed before, but fails with a different error later. This is in a separate directory.

Trying this now ... BTW is Qt-2010.04 the same as Qt-4.7?

...

No good, same error.
