      There are no clear examples in the documentation, it is not understood. Apparently you have worked with this a lot and it is clear to you without documentation. How do I build the necessary dll files in a program with qml?

        Is there an example and explanation for this command?

        windeployqt --qmldir <path-to-app-qml-files> <path-to-app-binary>

          hi
          its a command line so you use it WITH windeployqt to say it must also copy compiler runtime
          The error you showed looks like missing runtime for mingw compiler.

          If you used QML also you will need to add --qmldir
          where you point to the qml files you have.

          so goto folder where your exe is and something like

          windeployqt --compiler-runtime --release --qmldir C:\YOURPATH\qmlfolder MyApp.exe

          or use full path to .exe also.

              There is no example for the link. There is only a scant description.
              It's not work:

              windeployqt.exe --qmldir E:\test\build-testQmlAndCpp-Desktop_Qt_5_14_1_MinGW_32_bit-Release2\testQmlAndCpp.exe  E:\QTProject\testQmlAndCpp\testQmlAndCpp.pro
              

              It's too not work:

              windeployqt --compiler-runtime --release --qmldir  E:\test\build-testQmlAndCpp-Desktop_Qt_5_14_1_MinGW_32_bit-Release2\testQmlAndCpp.exe 
              

              Is there a working example?

                There cannot be a working example as you must fill in the paths to fit your project.
                also, you point to \testQmlAndCpp.exe for --qmldir but it must point to the folder where your actual QML files is.
                Often the porject foler of the app, unless you put the files in a sub folder.

                The link list the parameters and explain what each does. please read it.

                  The documentation does not say what path-to-app-qmlfiles is.
                  Please explain in more detail how to use this command.

                    and if I do this, then some libraries are written in the console, but they are not added to the folder with the. exe file

                    windeployqt --compiler-runtime --release --qmldir   E:\QTProject\testQmlAndCpp  E:\test\build-testQmlAndCpp-Desktop_Qt_5_14_1_MinGW_32_bit-Release

                        Well it could not as its where you place them.
                        Often in the project folder with the other files of the project.
