qt vs tools, executable directories not work

jronald

e.g. the project depends on a.dll

set it:

In project property / VC++ Directories / Executable Directories, add directory path of a.dll
In project property / Debugging / Environment, add $(ExecutablePath). In the environment Evaluated value, I can see the directories are there and right.

I'm sure the method works for my non Qt project.

Maybe the DLL(s) have further dependent DLLs which are still not on path? Use a dependency walker on them? Compare your added directories to exactly whatever VS would have, if you can do that?

No, if the same directory paths are added in system environment, it runs. And it's a project I'm migrating from wxWidgets, I'm sure the paths are enough.

By default, i.e. add PATH=$(ExecutablePath), it doesn't work, the result is as below:

PATH=$(ExecutablePath)$(LocalDebuggerEnvironment)

whichs is equivalant to:

PATH=$(ExecutablePath)
PATH=%PATH%;$(QtDllPath)

The one below works, the key point is not check Inherit from parent or project defaults.

PATH=$(ExecutablePath)$(QtDllPath)

BTW, where to report the bug?
