Distribute QT RCC

[MTirelli]

Hi,
is possible to distribute with my software the RCC compiler and some DLL (libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll)?

Thanks

@MTirelli regarding the DLLs I'd say sometimes it's required! given that the user receiving your app doesn't have them installed, and since all those particular libraries are run-time support libraries.

Regarding the RCC compiler, why do you want to distribute it?
Please remember that:

The rcc tool is used to embed resources into a Qt application during the build process. It works by generating a C++ source file containing data specified in a Qt resource (.qrc) file.

so the results from RCC compilation ends up into the executable file of your Qt application

@Pablo-J-Rogina You can create external binary resources with rcc. But it's indeed a surprising requirement.

@SGaist said in Distribute QT RCC:

create external binary resources

I didn't know about it, thank you for pointing it out.

My Java application create some basically .qrc files that will be used into QT application, so i must convert this files into a .rcc using the RCC

Thanks for the reply

@MTirelli

i must convert this files into a .rcc using the RCC

could that step be done at compile time? So to avoid distributing the RCC compiler?

No, is not possible
