I have created static versions of Qt 5.2.0 libs with these configure options (Ubuntu 12.04):
-opensource -confirm-license -force-pkg-config -release -static -prefix '/home/juzzlin/qt5' -no-icu -opengl desktop -no-glib -accessibility -nomake examples -nomake tests -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-xcb -qt-pcre -v
Now, the problem is that when I have compiled and linked my app against these Qt libs, it tries to load fonts from the Qt installation path /home/juzzlin/qt5/lib/fonts. How is this supposed to work? The app works on the machine that I used to compile it, but not on some other machine. I also don't want to install Qt stuff to some system directories with the app, as applications shouldn't do that.
This is the error I get:
QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory /home/juzzlin/qt5/lib/fonts - is Qt installed correctly?
How can I force it to search for fonts in some other directory?
The other thing I don't understand is that why I don't have this same problem when cross-compiling for Windows with MXE? It uses practically the same configuring options when compiling Qt libs.
