So I want to find a tutorial that teach how to build single EXE using Qt. i use mingw and windeployqt for deployment (still some dll is missing and i manually copy them) then it works.
But i do not understand the steps in https://wiki.qt.io/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows
It indicated to build static version of Qt.
> configure -static -release -no-exceptions
> mingw32-make sub-src
But where do i type this at? When I open Cmd prompt and type it immediately, it just say "configure" is not recognized as an internal or external command....
Does this mean I need to close Qt Creator, build a "static" version of Qt Creator and then run a static version of Qt Creator? It is very confusing for me. Apologies cause I am new to this.
Make sure you have mingw, perl and python in your path. Download Qt source zip of your choice from here. Extract zip to the file system, e.g. C:\src\
Now you open a command prompt, go into the Qt source root and run configure and make from there.
cd C:\src\qt-<something>
