<Static build> qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in ""
-
Hi,
I would like to statically link a QT program in Microsoft Visual C ++ 64Bit. For this I have compiled the QT library statically. There are no issue when I compile my application but when start a program, I get the error:qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "" This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problemI searched couple of post and tried but nothing helped me out. Like below
- I have already linked almost all of the .libraries
- Link error when i add as Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN in main.cpp
- included Qt5PlatformCompositorSupport.lib (as i didnt find the Qt5PlatformSupport.lin)
PS:
*I tested the dynamic version and it works:
*Using CMAKE file to compile the application -

Set environment variableQT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1and then run your application. Look at the end of the long output you should get for why it gives you your error message. -

I did, set the variable in cmake as below but I dont see any new lines of error , it still shows the same. I also set the plugin variableset(QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH "C:\\QtStatic\\Qt5132\\plugins\\platforms") set(QT_PLUGIN_PATH "C:\\QtStatic\\Qt5132\\plugins") Set(QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS 1) -
Hi,
It's an environment variable.
You have to set it in our IDE or the terminal you are using before starting your application.

I configured that in the environmental variable and started the application. This time i face the same error but with the pathC:\test\QTStatic\attunesoftware\FwUpdater\FWUtility\FirmwareUpdaterUtility\release>FwUtility.exe qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "C:\QtStatic\Qt5132\plugins\platforms" This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.PS: Also i tried the path as below but didnt work. And in this location C:\QtStatic\Qt5132\plugins\platforms - i have qwindows.lib file
- C:\QtStatic\Qt5132\plugins
- C:\QtStatic\Qt5132

I just realised: you are supposed to have a static Qt build, the plugins should be built-in. If that not the case then you likely have an issue with your build.
On maybe silly question, did you call make install after you built Qt ?

I built QT as static with the required configuration. I could see the below files in platform plugins- qwindows.lib
- qwindows.prl
- qminimal.lib
- qminimal.prl
- qdirect. qoffscreen... qwebgl
After build I use cmake install command to install the application.
Still not resolved
