Hello,

I'm trying to build a full static executable of a KDE program.
The reason is to be able to run a KDE program that requires a recent
Qt/KDE version on an old distribution without modifying it.
The solution I found was to install a recent Qt (3.3.8) and KDE
(arts-1.5.7, kdelibs-3.5.7, kdebase-3.5.7) on a Red Hat RHEL3. To build
my program (kscope-1.5.2) and to make a static executable with
statifier-1.6.11 (http://statifier.sourceforge.net).

I got a static executable, big (24 MB) but still smaller than the
dynamic one more all the libraries (~300 MB).

The first problem I got was that some additional files (.../share/apps,
.../share/icons, etc) seem to be necessary to run the static program.
These come from the program itself (Kscope) and the KDE install too. I
found that the environment variable KDEDIR must point to the kde/(share,
etc) for the static-kscope to run correctly.
So my question is : is there any other kde installed files required at
this step ?

The second problem not resolved is when I copy this package
(kscope-static, kscope files, kde files) to another machine, my program
fails to run on this machine. It starts and the window is correctly
configured but a message box display "Could not find mime type
application/octet-stream", then "Malformed URL file:///" and crashes.
The log messages are below :

Now, I have a few questions :
- What is missing or missconfigured on the second machine ?
- Is there an easier way to build a static KDE program ? Is it described
in a FAQ ?
- What are the additional files, environment variables, etc. required to
run a KDE program independently from the local KDE installation ?

Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.
