Static build of Qt5

[rans]

Hello,

We need to build a standalone Qt application, so that the qt5 libraries are linked static.

Is it possible to create static link with Yocto ?

If not - should I use the method described here, and then replace the libraries in yocto's rootfs with the following libraries:

Linking to Static Builds of Qt | Qt 5.8 for Device Creation 

Should this method work ?

Thank you!

Hello Ran,

You could use the method on the link as it’s part of Qt’s official documentation, so it should work.

That being said, you can force Yocto to take a specific recipe version or specific dependencies with the VERSION and DEPENDS variables. You could look at the Yocto documentation for this.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
