    Description

      When building Qt 6.0.1 into static libraries, the default resources for messagebox, styles, etc. are missing.

      More specifically, the resources compiled into the following files are missing:
      qrc_cursors.cpp.obj
      qrc_openglblacklists.cpp.obj
      qrc_qmessagebox.cpp.obj
      qrc_qstyle.cpp.obj
      qrc_qstyle1.cpp.obj

      Those files are not part of any .lib file produced by CMake/Ninja.

      I manually link these files into my application to resolve the corresponding linker errors, but I would really expect Qt 6 to handle this out-of-the-box.
