dll and files relative path
-
Hello,
I want to deploy a Qt software I created on Windows.
In order to work, I must include many dll in the .exe folder.
However, I would like the .dll to be in a subfolder (for instance in /libs )
When I place the dll in this folder, the .exe does not find the dll.
I should thus tell that the dll are in the "libs" folder.Do I do this simply in the pro file with INCLUDEPATH or is this just for compilation ?
If that's the way, how to include the "libs" folder with a relative path to the .exe ?Thanks you very much,
Alex

Hi,
INCLUDEPATHis only to give additional paths to find header files.If you want to move things around you'll have to play with the qt.conf file however I don't know to what extend it supports external libraries.
You should take a look at the Qt Creator installation.

@alecs26 This explains how DLLs are located:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586(v=vs.85).aspx
And you could use something like this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh310513(v=vs.85).aspx to change where it looks for your DLLs.
