I'm a Qt newbie and cannot for the life of me figure out how to deploy my simple application. From the reading I've done, it seems that after building Qt statically I can simply add the following line to my .pro file:

Qt Code: 
  1. CONFIG += static
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

However, I cannot get Qt to build statically. Here are the pages I've been reading and trying to follow:

http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7-snapshot/deployment.html
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7-snapshot...t-windows.html
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Build_Sta...on_for_Windows
http://www.anavi.org/article/140/
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/13032

...in addition to many threads on this forum.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I cannot figure this out.

Can anyone help me?
