Windows build needs libtiff-5__.dll
-
Are you using any of the image format listed there ? In resources for example ?
Which modules are you using for your application ?
I don't think the build for Android has an influence there (it should not).

Well I'm definitely not using TIFF. I may have some PNGs.
Which modules are you using for your application ?
Lots of them, but I don't have an exact list. I do draw from the controls, the layouts, etc. Plus my own modules (about 40 of them).

@mzimmers My Qt app needs these installed libs on Linux which do not come with Qt. I guess they are needed on Windows as well.
if your target device does not have these libs, you have to wrap them with your app.

And, because they're .dlls, I can't build them into my application, can I?
Good thing all this Windows stuff is going away for me soon...

On windows, yes.
Oh? Are you sure about that? Remember, all I have are the .dlls (no static libraries).

@mzimmers To link your application to a library at build time you need .lib file, not .dll.
.dll is what is loaded at runtime. -

.dll is what is loaded at runtime.@jsulm right, but if I find some static versions of those libraries, will Qt link to them when I build? I realize I'll have to add them to my CMakeLists.txt file, but...are there any other steps needed?
Also, assuming I can find those libraries, is there a way to build them into my next static build of Qt?
Thanks...

@mzimmers Open your APK to see what you have there. I guess dlls are used only in Windows, but not in Android(based on Linux).

@JoeCFD I need this to work on all platforms. So far, I haven't found a static version of those libraries (though I haven't looked hard yet).

If source code is available then it should be possible as long as those can be built for all your target platforms.
Static libs should work as long as they were built using compatible compiler.
