Not able to start application
-
Hi,
We have an application which we are able to run from Qt creator tool. However, when I build the image and run the GUI.exe in the build folder, it asks me to provide dlls. Hence I copy the required dlls (QT5widgets.dll, hidapi.dll etc...) in the folder of the exe file and run. But it later shows that the application is unable to start as below
What am I missing. The version of QT used is 5.14Thanks in advance for your help

hi @SachinBhat
You need to properly deploy your application

Hi Lelev,
Thanks for the response. I tried to build in the release mode. Unfortunately, I get the same issue. I can run the application in debug mode and through the QTcreator run command
Thanks

Lelev,
One more discovery i made is that the gui crashes before starting when i try to run from QT creator tool in release mode
It works only in debug mode when i run the application
Appreciate your help
Thanks

Lelev,
Could you please explain the difference when i deploy and run vs run via qt creator tool
What procedure can i use to debug the gui application crash?
Thanks

QtCreator prepares the environment to run your app before starting it, so it finds all libs and plug-in.
If you want to start your app outside of QtCreator you need to deploy it first. You will then get a directory containing your app and all needed libs and plug-ins. -

Does that mean the dlls copied here have some issue compared to the ones in Qt library?
Could you please infer what could be going wrong?
Should I install QT afresh?
Thanks

Sachin@SachinBhat If your app crashes in release mode even in QtCreator you should first find out why before deploying.
One reason could be that it tries to load debug libs.
Another one can be a bug in your code which does not cause a crash in debug mode but in release mode.
