Application won't static compile under KDE4

[b1]

G'Day,

I have installed Qt 4.6.2 on Slackware Linux 13.1 and compiled the toolkit statically. I can confirm this worked by checking the demos & examples are all 10Mb or larger (in the shared compile they were in the Kbs).

Using QDevelop I wrote a test application and tried to compile it statically but it ends up shared. I have set the QTDIR to the static libraries and all the paths/option/tools/etc in QDevelop are set to the static libraries. I even tried the command line using the tools from the static compiled toolkits bin directory but it still creates a shared executable. I have checked that the project file contains "config += static". I have only had this problem since using KDE4 (which uses Qt4 of course).

Clearly I am missing something very obvious but I can't see the wood for the trees!! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, B1.

If it is true that you link to the right libraries and you have add static to your pro file, then I only can guess that you maybe forgot to rerun qmake?

Lykurg, I thought that too, so I reran qmake both through QDevelop and at the command line but to no avail. The "make" output shows the correct library paths being used but I suspect there is some other path statement buried some I haven't found that has the wrong path in it.
Thank you for the thought, though...

Cheers, B1.
