Answer 1

a good guide for this (static deployment) can be found here: https://boffinblogger.blogspot.com/2018/12/static-compile-of-qt-5120-using-visual.html

It will take quite some time to run the nmake/jom step if you have a computer with a lower number of cores. Definitely use Jom instead of nmake if you can.

Also, if your only problem is that when you move the dynamic binaries you get the dll errors, you need to run windeployqt.exe in the location of your exe (example path: C:\\Qt\\5.12.1\\msvc2017_64\\bin\\windeployqt.exe). open cmd, cd to the location of your new program and paste the path of the windeployqt.exe for the qt version that you used.
