Actually Pino made me note that some libs are indeed only available as a static library. In this case I think it's because it's used to open forms at runtime. Making the lib static means that the forms will be interpreted exactly with the same version of code used to compile them. The code is even BSD-3-clause, meaning that even on proprietary code using the LGPL this is still valid. On the other hand it also makes sense to keep them, Qt itself is configured to produce dynamic libs only (except, as we learned, some special cases) So actually not a bug, but a nice opportunity to learn :-) Cheers, Lisandro.
