Hi Alex,

Thank you for the detailed steps. May I ask if you rebuilt Qt, statically, under Windows or has all your work been performed under Linux ? I have tried both of those Qt versions and ran configure.exe -static -openssl -I<path_to_openssl_include> -L<path_to_openssl_libs> and it failed to compile when running mingw32-make sub-src.

I must be doing something crazily wrong in the way I am rebuilding Qt :(
