I\'d like to make a completely static build of Qt 4.8/5.2 under VS2012 - including static runtime libraries, and targeting Windows XP systems. This is not supported out-of-t
Assuming that the environment was prepared for XP targeting, and relevant XP-targeting qt5xp.patch
and the bug fix qt5fixes.patch
available - both from my other answer, we have to do the following:
Create a separate win32-msvc2012-static
and win32-msvc2012-static-xp
qmake specs by copying them from qtbase/mkspecs/win32-msvc2012
and qtbase/mkspecs/win32-msvc2012-xp
, respectively.
Modify the qmake specs.
Teach configure and qmake makefile about the new qmake specs.
Force bootstrap of configure.exe
by creating an empty .gitignore
file in qtbase
.
If you're configuring Qt with a -prefix
so that the installation and build directories are separate, you must apply the patch for QTBUG-32519 - at least until that bug gets fixed.
The following batch file does the complete job. At the moment, webkit building is disabled for static Qt builds.
:: Assume that we're in an equivalent of C:\Qt prefix
@set PREFIX=%~dp0
:: Qt sources
@set QT=%PREFIX%..\5.2.1-src
:: Patch file(s)
@set SRC=%PREFIX%
@set SPEC=win32-msvc2012
@if not exist "%QT%\qt.pro" ( echo Qt source folder expected in %QT%>&2 & exit /b 1 )
::
@patch --forward --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5fixes.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5fixes.patch
::
@echo > %QT%\qtbase\.gitignore
@mkdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%\qplatformdefs.h %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%\qmake.conf %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp
@patch --forward --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5xp.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5xp.patch
::
@mkdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%\qplatformdefs.h %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%\qmake.conf %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static
@mkdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp\qplatformdefs.h %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp
@copy %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp\qmake.conf %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp
@patch --forward --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5static.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5static.patch
To undo the changes to the Qt source, run the following, with variables set as above:
@patch --reverse --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5static-unfix.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5static.patch
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static\qplatformdefs.h
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static\qmake.conf
@rmdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp\qplatformdefs.h
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp\qmake.conf
@rmdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-static-xp
::
@patch --reverse --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5xp-unfix.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5xp.patch
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp\qplatformdefs.h
@del %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp\qmake.conf
@rmdir %QT%\qtbase\mkspecs\%SPEC%-xp
@del %QT%\qtbase\.gitignore
::
@patch --reverse --directory=%QT% -p0 --global-reject-file=%SRC%\qt5fixes-unfix.rej --input=%SRC%\qt5fixes.patch
The build is then performed by executing
configure -static -platform win32-msvc2012-static-xp (or win32-msvc2012-static)
jom (or nmake)
jom install (if doing the build separate from the installation directory)
# qt5static.patch
# Static MSVC Runtime Support for Qt 5.2
#
# Build qmake with XP targeting.
