        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        Please show some patience and allows at least 24 hours before bumping your own thread. This is a voluntary driven forum and people may not even live in the same timezone as you.

        As for issue, you cannot completely flatten the plugin structure. Qt has some expectations with regards to where it will look for specific plugins.

        What is your current issue with it ?

          @SGaist I just want it to be a single exe. I embed the dll with wmprotect but the folders remain.

            @Mo1ra-ALP said in QT Platform Plugin Set Path:

            wmprotect

            Then you should talk with these folks so see how to properly handle your use case.

            The other solution is to do a static build but it has constraints depending on which license you use.

                It is. You need static Qt build as @SGaist already mentioned.

                            @Mo1ra-ALP What Qt version do you want to build? CMake is only needed if you build Qt6.

                                        No it's not,
                                        Nuke your sources and get new one, 6.1 having been released it's likely a better idea to use that one.

                                        Then make a folder somewhere, go inside it and then call configure from there.
