Several questions with QtCreator [Solved]
-
I'm working on a project which should have GUI written in Qt. I'm thinking using QtCreator as a development IDE, but there are some problems I'm facing. The project should have a dll file which shouldn't be dependent on any qt library/module, it should use only winapi and it should be compiled with both x86 and x64. So my questions are:
•Is it possible to use QtCreator to compile a dll which doesn't have any dependency on qt modules. If yes, how?
•Is it possible to use MinGW x86 & x64 to compile a single project? If so, how can I specify which compiler to use?Although, every executable compiled from QtCreator has a dependency on LIBGCC_S_DW2-1.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL. Is it possible to remove a dependency on LIBGCC_S_DW2-1.DLL and link MSVCRT.DLL inside my exe/dll (just like MS VC does).
This is my first project with Qt, and I'm not a C++ guru, so please describe the details as good as you can :-) Your help is much appreciated. -

Yes absolutely, if you want to use qmake, add the following to your .pro file:
@
QT -= core gui

You'll have to add a seperate build configuration for each x86 and x64 and invoke it appropriately (you cann add build configurations in the "Projects" tab)

IIRC, MinGW does not allow MSVCRT.DLL to be linked statically due to licensing issues. However on most windows machines I have encountered, it was already installed (AFAIK, it is part of the VC redist, so if it isn't available you can use that). As for libgcc, you can use
@
win32 {
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static-libgcc
}
@
in your .pro file. -
Thanks loladiro, your post was helpful :)

No problem, feel free to ask any further questions. Also, could you please add [Solved] in front of the title (by editing the first post).

Forgot to mention one thing. To instruct qmake to not do anything Qt-spcific, you can/should also add:
@
CONFIG -= qt
@
to your .pro file
