Qt app deployment questions
Message 1 in thread
Hi all,
I have a very basic qt app (using only QtCore and QtGui) and it
compiled and run smoothly on my development box.
Problem came when I tried to deploy it on other boxes. I got a rude
"Application not installed correctly, reinstalling might fix ..." msg box
thrown at me. From what I understand, I shouldn't be needing any of
qt's .lib or .dll files carried with my executables if I do static linking.
Is there any more files or deployment steps that I need to include?
Note:
My development box, I use MS Visual Studio 8.0 (2005) + MS SDK.
Qt opensource edition is natively build from source as both static and
dynamic libraries. All the .libs and .dlls are there.
Thanks.

Yes, there are a few more things you will need to do, such as bundling some
of the Qt plugins. Have a look at the deployment docs,
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4rc1/deployment.html, for info on what (and how)
to deploy with your application.
