Deployment of custom widget plugins in executable / dll deployment on windows
Message 1 in thread
Hi all,
[Qt 4.2.1 / win32]
I have a single widget plugin (my first!) in a library located in
(QTDIR)/plugins/designer. It appears in designer and I use this to place
into it my form. I then compile my app and package Qt dlls and the exe etc.
ready to deploy. But, I don't have a handy test machine without Qt on it,
and I am now wondering if I need to separately distribute the widget plugin
with the rest of my app.
Am I right in assuming that the build process will put my special widget into
the exe so there is no need to also distribute a dll containing the widget /
plugin etc? Or do I need to also package up my widget library??
Thanks in advance,
Amit

If your applications source filelist also includes the files for the
custom widget you don't need to distribute it. If it doesn't than you
have to, probably creating a shared lib out of the sources along with
the widget-plugin.
