Running qt on external computer
-
Hi, I have a question, for the open source version of qt, the application built can be run only within Qt , right? Can I run my program on an external computer that doesn't have qt?

Yes you can. Just deploy your application: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/deployment.html

Nope, for 2 different reasons:
- The whole purpose of free and open-source software is to guarantee freedoms to users. So, you have the freedom to run the application anywhere you want.
- You're thinking about running the application within Qt Creator, the IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Qt is a library. Qt is not Qt Creator.
