QT5 deploying on windows, mingw32
-
simple, console, doing-nothing application works like a charm both on my and my friend's PC.
I used only the libs windows shouted missing while trying to launch exe.so... we know that the method is OK, but when trying the same thing with my little bigger gui app it fails... ideas?

It is difficult to say.... you could add in simple instantiations of all the objects you are using one by one until you find that one that is not working then we can see which libraries each requires... painful though :(
What classes are you using? and what libraries (includes) are you bringing in?

The icu libs have something to do with unicode according to some post found through Google.
There is also this post.
[quote author="sierdzio" date="1371272019"]Don't forget about copying the platform plugin.
Also, since you mention it - ICU is very likely the cause of your problem. I won't ask you the question you don't want me to ask, but without answering it you probably won't be able to run you application... it's your choice.[/quote]
Are you using unicode?
Is it really necessary to use?The optimum would be that you do not need it and it is easy to eliminate the dependency.
Typically depends.exe shows all dll dependencies and lately some more than actually. It seem to be less a problem of depends.exe than more of the moving target windows. If it would fail to show missing dlls as well, the tool would be completely useless by now. Well, may be not completely, since you would get some part of the functionality.
If you follow unicode in the Qt documentation you find "some specifics for windows":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/internationalization.html#windows
So my conclusion is either you are using unicode in some third party module or in your own, but not the Qt unicode. If you use Qt unicode, it should be in one of the Qt dlls.
