Difficulties compiling qt statically

Problems compiling qt statically
I've been following the instructions here: http://www.formortals.com/how-to-statically-link-qt-4/

I compiled qt statically, changed the .pro file and added the static build (qmake.exe) to qt creator.

The problem is that I'm not getting any executable after compile (either in debug or release). I get this compiler message:

17:24:04: Running build steps for project AES66...

17:24:04: Starting: "c:\qt_static\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3\bin\qmake.exe" C:\Users\tom\Documents\AES66\AES66.pro -r -spec win32-g++

17:24:04: The process "c:\qt_static\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3\bin\qmake.exe" exited normally.

Any help would be great.

Added after 1 45 minutes:

Under application output it is saying:

Starting C:\Users\tom\Documents\AES66-build-desktop-Qt_4_8_3__qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4_8_3__Release\release\release\AES66.exe...

What happens after qmake is caled? Is make called as well? qmake doesn't compile anything, make does.
