Building statically means you can distribute the final program without needing to pack alongside a lot of dynamic libraries.
This is a tricky process and is not recommended unless you know what you're doing.
The general idea is to first build the entirety of Qt statically. To do this, check the desired version under "Sources" in the Qt maintenance tool.
First, you need to build the entirety of Qt statically. To do this, check the desired version under "Sources" in the Qt maintenance tool.
After this is done, follow these instructions: https://dimitris.apeiro.gr/2015/06/24/build-a-static-qt5-for-windows-by-compiling/
This guide is specifically for Windows, but Qt is cross-platform and you should be good with or without some minor adjustments to the guide.
After this, you need to configure the project to use the static version of qmake (for this, look into "Qt creator build configuration")
Note that this **is** a computationally heavy process and will take a lot of time on a slow computer.
After this, you need to configure the project to use the static version of qmake (see http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings.html)
BASS and BASS Opus only comes as dynamic libraries and is not open-source. That means you can't link it statically in the program.
For Discord RPC, you can try downloading the source and configuring it to compile to a static library. You're gonna have to figure out how, though.
The same goes for Qt Apng Plugin. This guide does not go into detail how to configure each of these to build a static library.
The same goes for Qt Apng Plugin. This guide does not go into detail how to configure each of these to build a static library. You may have to add Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(ApngImagePlugin); in main.cpp. See more about importing static plugins here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins
