How to create window service/daemon(in Linux) using Qt

aashish.lg

Hi,

I have written an executable using Qt that loads a dll and calls the function in dll at some conditions.
How can I convert this exe into Windows service(daemon in Linux).

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi,

I tried to download the code and compile the projects, but when trying to execute the exe of example(Interactive), it failed to execute , prints the error as "The service Qt Interactive service could not start".
I placed the generated binary QtSolutions_Service-2.6.dll in the same folder where exe resides also.
Tried to put in System32, and bin directory where all other qt libraries resides , neverthless no luck!!!

Please advice what is the correct way to use that

Have you installed the service first? (you should run the exe with '-i' key)

Hey, I got the same issue, I installed the service, the installation was ok.
But when I try to start the service I got the same error message :
“The service Qt Interactive service could not start”.

I read at "this post":http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2004-10/thread00104-0.html

bq. The problem, of course, was that qt-mt333.dll was not installed in an area
where the service could find it. As soon as I copied it into c:
\windows\system32, I was able to start up the service as expected. This is
because the program required the qt.dll and when running as a service, was
unable to find it. bq.

But I didn't found the qt-mt333.dll file.

I'm using Qt 4.7.3 on win xp sp3

Hey, just open cmd as admin and execute exe with -i at frist, at second with -s.
