Hi, Could someone explain how to configure the Qt Creator .pro file to copy the dependent dlls into a directory with the program executable. My intention is to either zip up the directory to be dropped onto another computer or use NSIS or equivalent, to package the software in an installer. It makes sense for qmake to get the dependent dlls, as qmake knows what dlls it used to bind with the exe.
For example a Qt Creator project file (aprogram.pro) <http://aprogram.pro>on XP using mingw and a non-statically built Qt. # aprogram.pro file TARGET = aprogram TEMPLATE = app SOURCES += main.cpp\ mainwindow.cpp HEADERS += mainwindow.h FORMS += mainwindow.ui target.path = $$PWD/deploy INSTALLS += target This copies aprogram exe to the deploy directory when "make install" is run. <path to aprogram.pro directory>/deploy/aprogram.exe It would be nice if the dependent dlls could be copied to the deploy directory as well. This list would depend on the QT variable in the .pro file and the compiler (mingw or Visual Studio). <path to aprogram.pro directory>/deploy/aprogram.exe <path to aprogram.pro directory>/deploy/QtCore.dll <path to aprogram.pro directory>/deploy/QtGui.dll <path to aprogram.pro directory>/deploy/mingwm10.dll I've seen some discussion about a similar issue in previous Qt forum question (2005?), where someone wanted a single exe generated. I'm using Qt Creator 1.2.1, Qt 4.5.2 on XP. Cheers, Luke
