Plugin no longer recognized after including QT elements.
-
Hello all,
I am working on a plugin (DLL) for a non-QT application on a Windows machine, but I am having issues including any QT functionalities.
The plugin is recognized by the application if I do not include any QT elements in the code. However, once I include any QT elements, the plugin is no longer recognized by the application. I assume this is because the application can't find the required QT dependencies and therefore ignores the plugin altogether.
I have tried using the windeployqt tool to make the required libraries available and placed them in the same folder as the DLL, but nothing seems to be working. I also considered deploying a static version of the DLL, but I am fairly new to the QT environment and I can't seem to make heads or tails of anything. I understand that QT is meant to be modular and include only the required resources, but is there any way of just installing all the QT libraries on the system and just letting it find what it needs?
I typically work on low level or even bare metal programming, so explaining things like I'm 5 would probably be a good idea. If this is the wrong forum for this please let me know.
Thanks
