Deployment win10
-
This project is a pure C++ code, there is no qt code in it.
First I run my code in release mode. Then at release folder I found the .exe file. Then I search for QT 5.15.2 (MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit) and I write
windeployqt.exe
I get the following code.
Usage: windeployqt.exe [options] [files] Qt Deploy Tool 5.15.2 The simplest way to use windeployqt is to add the bin directory of your Qt installation (e.g. <QT_DIR\bin>) to the PATH variable and then run: windeployqt <path-to-app-binary> If ICU, ANGLE, etc. are not in the bin directory, they need to be in the PATH variable. If your application uses Qt Quick, run: windeployqt --qmldir <path-to-app-qml-files> <path-to-app-binary> Options: -?, -h, --help Displays help on commandline options. --help-all Displays help including Qt specific options. -v, --version Displays version information. --dir <directory> Use directory instead of binary directory. --libdir <path> Copy libraries to path. --plugindir <path> Copy plugins to path. --debug Assume debug binaries. --release Assume release binaries. --pdb Deploy .pdb files (MSVC). --force Force updating files. --dry-run Simulation mode. Behave normally, but do not copy/update any files. --no-patchqt Do not patch the Qt5Core library. --ignore-library-errors Ignore errors when libraries cannot be found. --no-plugins Skip plugin deployment. --no-libraries Skip library deployment. --qmldir <directory> Scan for QML-imports starting from directory. --qmlimport <directory> Add the given path to the QML module search locations. --no-quick-import Skip deployment of Qt Quick imports. --translations <languages> A comma-separated list of languages to deploy (de,fi). --no-translations Skip deployment of translations. --no-system-d3d-compiler Skip deployment of the system D3D compiler. --compiler-runtime Deploy compiler runtime (Desktop only). --no-virtualkeyboard Disable deployment of the Virtual Keyboard. --no-compiler-runtime Do not deploy compiler runtime (Desktop only). --webkit2 Deployment of WebKit2 (web process). --no-webkit2 Skip deployment of WebKit2. --json Print to stdout in JSON format. --angle Force deployment of ANGLE. --no-angle Disable deployment of ANGLE. --no-opengl-sw Do not deploy the software rasterizer library. --list <option> Print only the names of the files copied. Available options: source: absolute path of the source files target: absolute path of the target files relative: paths of the target files, relative to the target directory mapping: outputs the source and the relative target, suitable for use within an Appx mapping file --verbose <level> Verbose level (0-2). Qt libraries can be added by passing their name (-xml) or removed by passing the name prepended by --no- (--no-xml). Available libraries: bluetooth concurrent core declarative designer designercomponents enginio gamepad gui qthelp multimedia multimediawidgets multimediaquick network nfc opengl positioning printsupport qml qmltooling quick quickparticles quickwidgets script scripttools sensors serialport sql svg test webkit webkitwidgets websockets widgets winextras xml xmlpatterns webenginecore webengine webenginewidgets 3dcore 3drenderer 3dquick 3dquickrenderer 3dinput 3danimation 3dextras geoservices webchannel texttospeech serialbus webview Arguments: [files] Binaries or directory containing the binary. C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64>
Then I go to the release file folder. Then I run the following command:
windeployqt.exe eval.exe
I get the following message:
C:\Qt files\.....\release>windeployqt.exe eval.exe C:\Qt files\....\release\eval.exe 64 bit, release executable C:\Qt files\...\release\eval.exe does not seem to be a Qt executable.
I have no idea what could be the problem. I would really appreciate if you could help me solve my problem.

@bence as mentioned in the question, the application you are trying to deploy is purely c++ without using qt libraries.
hence windeployqt giving correct messageeval.exe does not seem to be a Qt executable
There is no qt run time libraries to link against.

windeployqt
is for deploying Qt applications, as its name suggests. So, it can't be used to deploy a non-Qt app.@bence said in Deployment win10:
Is there any other way to run the pure c++ code?
You don't need any special tools for that. Just copy and paste the required MinGW DLLs into the same folder as your app.
If you try to run your app but a required DLL is missing, you will get a pop-up dialog that tells you which DLL it needs.
