[SOLVED]Windows Deployment: Need SDK plugins present

babazaroni

Hello,

I'm trying to make a deployable directory that contains the app, plus all the dll's and plugins needed.

I seem to have it but have a weird problem. The plugins directory in the QtSDK must be present, even if it is empty, or a crash will result on startup in QtGui4.dll.

This happens in release mode only, debug mode works. I set the plugins path with setLibraryPaths as the first thing I do in main to point to the plugins directory in the app directory.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Sounds like a bug to me. The plugins directory should not be absolutely needed. What version of Qt is this with?

Ok, I've tried this on 4.7.4 and 4.8 and have the same result.

My directory structure is:

app directory
app directory/plugins
app directory/plugins/designer
app directory/plugins/imageformats

I've also tried moving the entire plugins tree (including plugins) to the app directory.

Try this:

I did try that as well Andre with no success.

But, I've worked around the problem by providing a qt.conf file with:

[Paths]
Plugins = plugins
