Hi, no I was only thinking of /MD all the time.

I thought Qt required /MD, but maybe I am an /MT ignoramus, if Qt can be happily built using /MT then that would beat MinGW, since such an .exe wouldn't then even require msvcrt.dll.

Yes, I also used app-local deployment, problem is that Microsoft has not
committed 100% to allow it (as far as I know), instead they have a
seesaw approach, saying "you can temporarily use app-local deployment but.."

Anyway, my ultimate goal is to create and distribute my Qt apps the same
way as Qt's installation program (you can tell I really admire that
program a lot :-)
i.e. link *everything* statically and build myself a ~ 20 MB humongous
.exe file (which only needs msvcrt.dll). And that kind of linking,
Microsoft has never supported nor allowed it.
Does it mean that distribution of software built with /MT runtime is illegal?
