Executables

xatziaris

i have a question regarding the executables produced when running a project:

i use the Qt Creator on linux (64bit). i can take the executable from the release folder and run it anywhere in my computer. i tried to run it on another pc with 32bit linux or windows (64bit) and it wouldn't start. i assume this is normal.

is there a way to produce different executables for different OS's from my 64bit linux Qt Creator?

ty and happy new year :)

Hi and Happy New Year
You need to deploy your application on other pcs

It need DLLS/SO files to run.

-different executables for different OS's from my 64bit linux Qt Creator?
Yes. its called cross compile and requires some extra setup

the first one is only for the same OS? if i do that correctly i'll be able to run it on linux 64bit or on any linux?

@xatziaris
Well www.tripleboot.org explains what files u need to run standalone.

But there are rules. 64bit program won't run on 32 bit OS
and sometimes 64bit OS need extra installed to run 32 bit program.
