Build JASP with Qt Static libs

[boutinb]

Only Common, CommonData, QMLComponnents, R-INterface and SyntaxBridge needs to be compiled with static Qt libraries
For this detect this by loading the Qt Core library and set USE_QT_STATIC_QT_LIBS to ON if the QtCore lib is static.

The SyntaxBridge is built as a shared library so that it can be used directly by the jaspSyntax R package: for this it uses the qt_import_qml_plugins CMAKE function so that Qt loads automatically the needed (static) plugins in the SyntaxBridge library (with the use of a Dummy.sql that uses all the needed import statement).
Also SyntaxBridge needs to load the Qt Minimal plugin platform so that the jaspSyntax can start a Qt application to load the QML form.

To test this I guess I first need to build Qt statically?
Anything specific I should pay attention too while doing that?

I just wanted to set the Static Qt libraries I built (on Windows and Mac) on the static server, but my ssh does not work anymore...

[boutinb]

But if you want to build them, load the Qt sources and do the following:

./configure -debug -static -opensource -confirm-license -prefix ../BuildStaticDebug -submodules qtbase,qtdeclarative,qtshadertools,qt5compat,qtpositioning

cmake --build . --parallel

cmake --install .

How do you "load the qtcore" I downloaded?

[JorisGoosen]

First problem found I guess, if I select qmake in qtcreator in a naive attempt to load qt from your nice static build I get the (actually not so surprising) error message that it isnt safe:

If I try on windows I get

There is a (start of a ) documentation here https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-desktop/blob/development/Docs/development/jasp-syntax-guide.md

If you have a Windows machine, you can try to install jaspSyntax with remotes (remotes::install_github("jasp-stats/jaspSyntax")
I'm curious if it works for you. On my laptop it works, but not on the ex-buildbot machine. There is a crash when it tries to lock a mutex (it crashes only in release mode, not in debug mode, I'm searching further).

Works nicely on macos now!
