Run QT application on other computers

[kamranK]

Hi everyone,,, I created an Qt application using MINGW 4.7. When I try to run the .exe file on any other computer it does not execute and requires a QtCore4.dll file. How to solve this problem. I want to run the application on other computer without having to install Qt on it

Hi and welcome to DevNet,

Have a look at the "deployment documentation for windows":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-windows.html

It explains what you need to do

[sierdzio]

You need to copy relevant libraries with your app, or build statically. See "deployment":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html guide.

The easier way is to copy the required dll from QtSDK sub-directories to the same directory where you have the executable.

So if want to compile normally do i use -release after the configure command

No. You need to copy the files yourself. Make system will not do this for you unless you run some custom copying script.
