How to build Qt Static compatible XP with VS2013 and Win 10

Deepin Boot Maker should work on almost all Windows platform( form Windows XP to Windows Ten, both 32bit and 64 bit), and the is two base requirement:

• 1 Use a single executable file that it can be easily used, So you should build an static Qt.

• 2 Windows XP DO NOT full support OpenGL2 and Direct X 11, so use Angel with Direct X 9 installed.

You can use VS2010 and Direct X SDK to build Qt, but it can not support C++ 11, so we pass it.

It you want build Qt 5.5 with VS2013, do by this steps:

1 Change Qt config:

For Qt 5.5, open Z:\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1\qtbase\mkspecs\common\msvc-desktop.conf

Support static link, change

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MD
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MD -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MDd

to

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MT
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MT -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MTd

Support Windows XP platform， and -target xp when you run configure

2 buld Qt with this:

IF YOU USE VS2013 and Windows Kit, DONOT SET DIRECTX_SDK

%comspec% /k ""D:\Dev\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86
configure -prefix "D:\Qt\QtStatic\5.3\vs2013" -debug-and-release -platform win32-msvc2013 -confirm-license -opensource -static -qt-pcre -no-icu -no-sql-sqlite -no-nis -no-cups -no-iconv -no-dbus -nomake examples -no-sql-odbc -no-compile-examples -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebkit-examples -skip qtactiveqt -no-openssl -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-freetype -qt-libjpeg -opengl es2 -angle -target xp

if you want run you application on winxp, you must add -target xp, also -opengl es2 -angle is necessary.

also you can use jom to speed up.
