[Solved] Static Build doesn't run on other PCs (Windows)
-
Hi all,
I have tried creating static builds of my application that I can run on other PCs that don't have Qt installed (the whole point of a static build...)
While I can build my application, and it runs fine on my Windows 7 Machine, it does not run on other computers.
Well, it does run (the process shows up in the Task Manager), but no window appears.I'm using the C++ portion of my application only start up QML. The rest is all done in QML.
Now, when I complied Qt 5.4.0, I used the following options:
configure.bat -static -debug-and-release -platform win32-g++ -prefix 5.4.0-static -opengl desktop -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests
My main.cpp looks like this:
#include <QApplication> #include <QQmlApplicationEngine> #include <QQuickView> #include <QtQml> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QQmlApplicationEngine engine; engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml"))); return app.exec(); }
If that makes any difference, in the QML code, I include items like:
import QtQuick 2.4 import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1 import QtQuick.Controls 1.3 import QtQuick.Window 2.2 import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2
But, yes, as mentioned below, I can build this, and it works on my PC.
On other PCs, I can see the process running in the Task Manager, but the Application Window does not appear.Any pointers in where I go wrong are appreciated!
Thanks! -
As it turns out, I needed to add the "QtQuick" and "QtQuick.2" folders in the same directory as my *.exe file.
This wiki page brought me on the right path.
