How does one build qt 4.8 projects on qt 5?
I use the greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets and added -static but the compiled file throws runtime errors on opening or sometimes closing. Is there anything else to do?
I don't know about building a 4.8.x bitcoinQt on a Qt 5.x system? But when I build 4.8.x on a 4.8.x (Windows 8.1) system, I found I got similar errors if I didn't delete all the .obj & other files in the build directory. The make file isn't too bright about what needs to be compiled and what doesn't.I use the greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets and added -static but the compiled file throws runtime errors on opening or sometimes closing. Is there anything else to do?

My build dir is already clean. I compiled a clean source. No luck so far. I think this runtime has to do with how qt is not statically linking libs. I pasted some dlls into the coins release folder but no dice.
If you look at message #1 in this forum it is not clear what Qt is created on one's system. I did read, but can't find the link now, that one needs to build a set of libraries for Qt that are dynamic for the use of Qt creator and Qt designer (if you use them) and a set that is static for building one's applications. I don't know if that is so, nor how one would keep the environment straight
