Static with domtraversal example gives QApplication before QPaintDevice error

[steve9295]

I am using QtCreator 2.3.1 (based on Qt 4.7.4). I downloaded Qt libraries 4.8.3 for Windows (VS 2010, 235 MB) and built for static linking, configured by:

configure -debug-and-release -opensource -static -platform win32-mscvc2010

I want to be able to make static executables. I modified my QTCreator build to use this version of the libraries. I tried a couple of the examples, calculatorform and simpletreemodel worked fine, ran locally and when transferred to another system that doesn't have Qt installed. However I wanted to use the domtraversal example and this even fails to run locally in QtCreator giving the following error:

Any help would be appreciated? Do I need to make something else correctly for this to work?

Cheers

Steve

Have you actually stepped into main() with the debugger to see where this error occurs?

I hadn't as the error seemed fairly explicit in that sense. Have now. The final call from the example is the last line in the following code:

void setupUi(QMainWindow *Window)
    {
        if (Window->objectName().isEmpty())
            Window->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("Window"));
        Window->resize(800, 600);
        centralwidget = new QWidget(Window);
        centralwidget->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("centralwidget"));
        verticalLayout_2 = new QVBoxLayout(centralwidget);
        verticalLayout_2->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("verticalLayout_2"));
        verticalLayout_2->setContentsMargins(-1, 4, -1, 4);
        webView = new QWebView(centralwidget);

void setupUi(QMainWindow *Window)
    {
        if (Window->objectName().isEmpty())
            Window->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("Window"));
        Window->resize(800, 600);
        centralwidget = new QWidget(Window);
        centralwidget->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("centralwidget"));
        verticalLayout_2 = new QVBoxLayout(centralwidget);
        verticalLayout_2->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("verticalLayout_2"));
        verticalLayout_2->setContentsMargins(-1, 4, -1, 4);
        webView = new QWebView(centralwidget);

Step into doesn't seem to work at that point.

A QApplication has been constructed in main before the above code:

QApplication app(argc, argv);

QApplication app(argc, argv);
