Compiling static application

[Benjamin]

Hi all,

I am compiling my GUI application as a library which I then link to my main C application. I am wondering if it is possible to compile this GUI library as static.

Part of my .pro file looks like this:

TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET =
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += . ../../include/
CONFIG += qt staticlib
QT -= network
DEFINES += QT_THREAD_SUPPORT QT_DLL

Tnx,
Benjamin

So, what is the problem? And are we talking Qt3 or Qt4 here? Your profile suggests you are using Qt3 but the snippet you posted seems to be from Qt4...

[Benjamin]

I am using qtopia 4.4.3 and Qt4

[wysota]

You still didn't say what the problem is.

What I am trying is to link application statically not dynamically. I would like to make my app to load all the necessary libraries on start up . Because once I start my app I can no longer access the flash from which I load the app.

[wysota]

That I understand. What I don't understand is what doesn't work for you using the project file you posted.

I think that I found out what is the problem. I need to recompile my qtopia libraries statically in order for this pro file to generate statical GUI library.

I read this article http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?t...c_applications

Tnx,

[Benjamin]

When I rebuild my GUI lib against these new statically linked libraries my library file is almost the same size.

Any ideas?

[wysota]

Did you expect it to be smaller or larger?

When I try to compile some examples from new statical compiled qtopia I get the following error:

Any idea?
