My regular recommendation is to never use the -qt-<libname> options. You as the app distributor should be aware of all the libraries you're shipping, for two very important reasons: 1) licensing. Most of those libraries are BSD-3-Clause, which means you need to list them and their copyright in your app's documentation. Qt can help you in this since there's a "qt_atribution.json" file next to each of the third- party libraries, so you can simply collect them all and include the necessary attributions in your documentation. 2) security. You must be aware of the libraries you can track CVEs published against them and update your build within a reasonable timeframe of the fixes being published by the upstream developers. Qt will not do this for you. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
