Where to find precompiled Qt for macOS with -static option?

Question

I'am trying to compile qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0.tar.gz for static linking on macOS 10.12.4 using this options: ./configure -opensource -confirm-license -release -static -ssl -openssl-linked -opengl -nomake examples -prefix /Developer/Qt -recheck-all

The compilation of Qt finishes ok. But when I compile my application with this static Qt then compiler says me this:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "minimal"

in "".

Available platform plugins are: cocoa.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Why? Did I build Qt wrongly?

I think I need a precompiled -static Qt package with full support of everything. Where can I find it?

If such does not exist then may be a list of proper configure parameters and libraries (like icu and openssl) will help me.

Most likely you're not compiling your application with the Qt version you think you are.

The only way to specify what version of Qt to use in a qmake project is to directly invoke the qmake of the Qt version you intend to use. There is a 1:1 relationship between a qmake binary and a Qt installtion.

I think I need a precompiled -static Qt package with full support of everything.

Whoever would provide such a precompiled version for you would do exactly what you did to compile yours.
