Qt5 Static Build yields Failed to load platform plugin “windows”

by

For dynamic build only: Make sure you move the qwindows.dll to the following directory:

yourapp.exe
Qt5Core.dll
...
platforms/qwindows.dll
...

Note that the plugins directory is missing! You put all the needed folders from QT_BASE/…/plugins/* directly together with your binaries.
BTW: I did not need libEGL.dll, but my application almost has no GUI.
