配置Qt命令提示符

Question

I'd like to run my Qt application as a standalone executable. I know that I have to configure Qt to build static applications to do this and have added the line of code for this to my .pro file but I cannot get the Qt command prompt to work in order to complete the configuration.

The command prompt mentions I need to call vcvarsall.bat to complete environment setup. Could I get some pointers on how to get this batch file to run and what other steps I need to complete to build static applications. I'm using version 5.3 and the compiler is MSVC 2012.

Edit: I've found the vcvarsall.bat file and tried running it by dragging and dropping it into the cmd window but it was not recognised.

Answer 1

To setup your environment using vcvarsall.bat you need to run it like

%COMSPEC% /k "C:\path\to\vcvarsall.bat"

Few simple steps to build static Qt would be:

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure.exe -static -release
nmake

Explaining how to build static Qt applications is beyond this SO question. Please proceed to http://qt-project.org/wiki/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows .
