<![CDATA[[solved] Problem dynamic linking QT dlls]]>Hello, I am trying to make a windows application ( desktop ). I am using QT5 with qtcreator with MinGW. I am starting a default QT Gui application, then build a release and using DependancyListing program, the qt QA suggested, I`ve added the DLL-s that are required. However I still get nasty errors.

  1. The application failed to load because it could not find QT platform plugin "windows"
  2. After I`ve added Qt/Qt5.1.1/5.1.1/mingw48_32/plugins/platforms/qwindows.dll it gave me some windows error, memory error with abnormal termination and suggest reinstall.

Can you provide tell me where I got wrong with deployment?

I am writing a desktop app and the user wants it to work. BTW, I am using wine with QT Creator+MinGW. Any more civilized ways to compile for windows on linux qtcreator? However I need the wine to test if working but I am having 2 qtcreators now...

Windows deployment can be tricky. You might also be interested by the qt.conf file (but if you have it all working as you want it, you can safely ignore it)

Ive found my mistake. It appears that qwindows.dll should be in its default platforms/ dir. :) Thanks, for re-refering to me the tutorial. Lame of me, lame.

Are you sure you got all dependencies ? Have a look at the "windows deployment guide":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/deployment-windows.html it might contain additional information you are needing.
