Build qtcreator using static linking

[alexey.ismagilov]

There was a need to build a static version of qtcreator. The reason is simple: the presence of dynamic dependencies that can not always be resolved, and it is more difficult to transfer all the necessary dependencies than to build a static version of qtcreator.

I was only able to figure out how to build a static version of qt

Could you tell me how to perform a static build of qtcreator?

You can use the QTC_STATIC_BUILD CMake variable set to ON to build Qt Creator statically.

For optimal performance you also need to set CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION to ON.
