Adding Qt Apps in a Tarball for Linux, and Executable packages for Windows
-
Hello, I looked on google how to package Qt, so it automatically installs all required files to run my apps, can somebody answer this, or direct me to where it gives a howto? All I could find were how to install Qt, which is already installed, not what I'm looking for, thanks in advance !!

You can search key word “deploying” in the Qt Assistant or Qt Online Doc [doc.qt.nokia.com] here
I think that’s what you want. -

Lets say, in the near future, I won't use Windows, which mostly likely I won't, is there anyway to deploy them for Windows on my Linux Machine? Eventually I'll be removing Windows for more room for my Linux box, thanks in advance, =).

You will fail to create a windows package without an actual windows box to test on.
For the executable: You will have to setup a complete cross compilation environment for Windows on your Linux box. I doubt it is worth the effort (except for educational purpose). Disk space is so cheap nowadays, that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Oh, and a virtual machine does the job pretty well for just running windows now and then...

I just got used to them last year, but that's a good thing to do some quick tests in a clean environment.[/quote]Thank goodness there isn't a pain in the butt long procedure to do to install VM's, heh.. Argue enough with Command Line, =D.
