I didn't even get to linking anything. All I wanted to do is to execute my PyQt \
application on the development machine itself (like a sanity check) before going to \
the next step: compiling a redistributable binary with pyqtdeploy.

Since I was to make working redistributable applications using pyqtdeploy ONLY when \
having PyQt compiled statically, this was the reason why I compiled it statically. \
I'm beginning to think that in order to be able to run my PyQt application (On the \
development machine) AND to be able to make a build using pyqtdeploy, I need to built \
PyQt5 twice, the statically AND dynamically linked version.
