      Qt 4.8.1 Statically compiled.

    Description

      When compiling with MinGW or MinGW-w64 under windows, the "-static" switch should be added to the LIBS variable of the "installerfw.pri" file.

      This way, all projects including this file (archivegen, binarycreator, reopen and most importantly the installer project) will be standalone, not requiring any other dependencies.

      This is to avoid having to redistribute the MinGW / MinGW-w64 runtimes along with the installer (As the "-static" switch tells MinGW / MinGW-w64 to use the static version of the runtimes.

      i have myself added the switch in installerfw.pri and tested successfully.

      Pierre.
