Hi Daniel,

If you look a little further down the page you'll find this description 
of the "static" option:

So I don't think "static" should be added to CONFIG in qconfig.pri. It's 
meant to be used when you are building a static library.

Anyway, it's not clear to me why cmake would need to be told that the Qt 
libraries are static. It just needs to know the dependencies of the 
libraries used, and these should be in the .prl files. Obviously the 
.prl files will differ depending whether the libraries they describe are 
static or shared.
