[solved] building a "standalone" program

mzimmers

Bump...anyone with ideas on how to remedy the issue highlighted above?

Thanks.

Another data point: I hex-edited my executable, searched for ".dll" and came up with these:

libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
mingwm10.dll
msvcrt.dll
KERNEL32.DLL
__register_frame_info.libcj_s.dll

I have copies of 1 and two in my executable folder; I was told I don't need 3 and 4.

5 is a mystery. I can't even find it on my system. And googling doesn't turn up much about it. Can anyone tell me something about this file, and why my program seems to be referencing it?

goetz

I can't - and I would straightly ignore it :)

mzimmers

Well, I don't mind ignoring it, but I'm still unable to launch this program from the command line, so I need to figure something out pretty quick. If the problem isn't a missing .dll, I'm not sure where to turn to find the problem.

goetz

Sorry, that's hard to tell from remote. And to be honest, I'm out of ideas what could go wrong here.

mzimmers

Yeah, I understand. Someone told me it might be a side of effect of using the 32-bit version of MinGW on a 64-bit system. I tried adding my 64-bit version of the compiler to my tool chain, but I'm not able to get it ahead of the one it finds automatically. I've put a path to the 64-bit version ahead of the path to the one in QtSDK in my PATH variable, and even renamed the QtSDK directory to block access, but it still comes up with \QtSDK\mingw\bin first in the list. Any ideas on this?

mzimmers

Ahhhhhhh!

The problem was in the .pro file. Evidently, failure to explicitly exclude Qt from the configuration resulted in a few references to Qt functions somewhere in the binary. The winning .pro code is:

@CONFIG += CONSOLE
CONFIG -= qt@

Thanks to everyone for the assistance.

I have a similar problem...

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with QT Creator 2.4.1

most applications run both from the IDE and by double clicking the .exe file, but some applications ONLY run within the IDE, and not when I double click the (same) executable file.

Why???

Please read the "official Linux deployment documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/linux-deployment.html, as well as this excellent "blog post about deployment":http://www.tripleboot.org/?p=138

Anyway, your problem sounds different from the original problem in this thread. If you'd like more help, please start a new thread.

P.S. Qt Creator 2.4.1 is extremely old. I recommend upgrading to "Qt Creator 3.1":http://qt-project.org/downloads

I have had a similar problem, sometimes my apps worked differently, depending on if I launched it from within Qt Creator, or from the Finder or terminal on OS X.

My problems occurred because the current directory was different depending on from where i launched the application, so that might be something that you guys can check.

What do you mean with "my apps worked diffrently"? And yes, the current directory is not the directory where your exe-file exists.
