Why shows error message when generating application release

lincoln

I have the following problem, when generating the release of my application, it shows me this message, even though I add the libraries you need, that message still appears, also try using the windeployqt.exe and it does not work, any suggestion would be appreciated .

I am using version 5.15.2 of qt

Hello again friends, I was able to solve my problem, I was checking in the advanced configuration of the system and it happened that it had several values, in the PATH variable with paths to the Qt installation folder, so I deleted them all and with that I could solve my problem, thanks for your answers.

now the problem is with respect to the database, I managed to generate the executable, add all the libraries you need, it happens that it does not show anything when I run it.

The application is already running, but the data is not displayed, which it queries from the DB.

Hi,

When exactly do you have that error ?
Are you starting your application from Windows's explorer ?

The message is displayed when I click on the executable, in the Windows Explorer, which is created with the QTCREATOR.

The application is not executed from the Windows Explorer, even when you add the corresponding libraries

The error message is telling you that it does not have the proper libraries available in the enviornment the executable is running.

Options:

There are (incorrect) Qt libraries on the system PATH found before those you intend.
Your libraries are from the wrong version of Qt (often this is because you have pulled the libs supporting Qt Creator rather than those you built against).
Your libraries are from the correct version of Qt but are the debug rather than release versions
There are no libraries to be found.

The missing function should be in Qt5Core.dll library built with MingW.

Please post the result of :

Windows command prompt TREE from the directory containing the EXE you are running
The value of PATH

QSqlDatabase::open() returns true?

lincoln

Yes, the connection returns true, when I test it in Qt Creator everything is fine, but when I test it on another pc, the data is not shown.

SGaist

Did you properly deploy all dependencies ? Including the ones for the SQL driver you are using ?

@SGaist
Of course, as you can see in the previous image that I publish, there are all the dependencies, those of the database and others that the application needs, which automatically adds windeployqt, and those that I add, manually such as:

libpq.dll
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libiconv-2.dll
libintl-8.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll.

I am using PostgreSQL version 13.3 and Qt 5.15.2. Both 64-bit

These libraries correspond to PostgreSQL, as I did my tests in Qt Creator, they work fine there, but when I create the exe and run from there, nothing happens.

Even so, the data is not shown; And it doesn't occur to me what else it could be.

Here run from the Qt Creator, the data is shown without problems, which does not happen when I deploy the application.

Set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS to 1 before starting you app from terminal and put the output here.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/debug.html

lincoln

@jsulm Thanks for your answer, but I don't really know how to do what you tell me, thank you anyway.

JonB

@lincoln
Use the forum Search for QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS. We don't want to answer the same question from many users over and over. It's also in the docs at Environment Variables Recognized by Qt. You need to read and act on these.

Do you run that deployed version on your machine or on a different machine ?

lincoln

@SGaist First I tried it on my machine, and then I took it to a different one, where the Qt was not installed, and the same result.

lincoln

@JonB ok, thanks

SGaist

Then the next step is to start your application from the command line with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS set to 1 to see what is going on.

@SGaist ok thanks, i'll find out how to do that.
