    You can't make .exe on ubuntu platform. exe extension is only for windows.

    Have you installed Qt on Ubuntu ?
    Are you able to launch Qt creator ?

      Hi
      you have to come up with better description about what you are doing or
      nobody can really help you,
      If you are not cross compiling, an exe is made pr default.
      so can you add some details about platforms, what type of exe
      and so on you are trying to make ?

          that is good. You are able to build & run the program. It means the executable is built and it works. Now tell us what are you searching for ?

              ok. For this you need all the dependent libraries to copied. You can some thing like deployment tools. It should help you to package all the dependent so files

                  For any application to run you need to have all dependent libraries. So for qt you need to copy all the dependent libraries like libqtwidgets,libcore, lingui.so etc library files. Please copy all these libraries to new system along with your executable. If you run linuxdeploymet tool it will automatically to copy them. Hope it is clear

                    Hi, Sir, inside that deployment tools [linuxdeployqt (https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt), I can't find out the "linuxdeployqt.appimage "file. Without this file how is it possible to run rather install the Liinuxdeployqt tools??
                    Thanks & Regards,
                    Rahul.

                      @Rahul-Samanta In general you need dependent library for the program to work. Copy all the Qt*.so files along with executable. It should work.

                        Hi Sir, I have fixed all those deployment issues using the linuxdeplyqt and linuxdeployqt.appimage, able to create executable for QT application. also tested the application for other Linux pc, and its working fine.
                        Thanks & Regards,
