I got two problems when I used static compiled library of QT4

**qintm** · 20th April 2006, 04:16

I got two problems when I used static compiled library of QT4. The first one is the error in using static compile and link. The second one is the disorder code in using Designer to make the interface.

The configure option is as below:

Qt Code:

Switch view

./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/qt-4.1.2-static -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-oci -no-sql-tds -fast -static -release -no-qt3support

./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/qt-4.1.2-static -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-oci -no-sql-tds -fast -static -release -no-qt3support

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Warning appeared at the end of compilation: It canâ€™t use plug-in in static compilation. I wonder whether there is a plug-in mode in QT4â€™s international processing.

In order to test the linking of static library, I used the program â€œcomplexwizardâ€ which is belong to QT4. The error is as below:

Note : The above error almost existed on every platform I used (For example: Fedora 5,RedFlag 4、5、workstation5.0，Mandriva 2006 free)

I originally considered it as the problem of fontconfig. But the problem appeared as of old when I download the original code of fontconfig which is the up-to-date version to compile again. I donâ€™t know why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another important question for me is that when I used Chinese input method in Designer it produced disordered code which happened not in the mode of static complication but in dynamic complication.

I am going at a setup program. I canâ€™t expect all the machines which will use my program have the QT4 surrounding. So I am going to compile my program in the mode of static complication. I have reached good result in the surrounding of QT3 whether it is used to link or international process. I wonder how to use QT4 to obtain the perfect result. Is there anybody can help me? Thank you !

If you answer the questions asked, I might be able to help. Asking the same question again in a new thread will probably not get you anywhere. There's an issue with -static. Have you somehow added -static anywhere, except of course for the -static option of configure?

Ah! The complexwizard example should have been built while building Qt itself. Isn't that the case?

OK, I understand Qt has been built without problems. You now have problems linking your own programs (or Qt examples) using the -static linker option which you have added yourself. Am I correct?

Some input methods and JCK codecs are available as plugins when building a shared Qt library:

With a static Qt library, you probably need to build them into the Qt library, or maybe into your application. Do you have any specific problem?
