    I did use the Qlabel only and then I chose the pixmap from the property editor. The pixmap was a png file.
    It does come on the form and even in the preview window
    But when I make the entire thing the image is missing
    I then put the png file in the release folder. It still did not work out
    Am I missing something.
    As far as the png files for icon are concerned when I put them in the release folder they start showing up in the final version.
    Where am I going wrong.

    The best solution is to use resources, but if you prefer to load images from disk, make sure you use proper paths.

    Note that relative paths depend on current working directory, which might change depending how users start your application. The safest way is to load them in the code using absolute paths constructed from QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath(), QDir::separator() and relative path to your image.

    I have taken the resources approach
    Somehow I am missing something somewhere
    I am sending you the code ( attached along)
    Can u pinpoint the mistake
    PS -- I always amend my makefile to takeout all references of debug since my make gives me trouble of cannot find - lqtmaind ( and I am in no mood to sort that out). This has been working fine so donot take that as mistake.
    What else am I missing.

    The problem is that your .ui file doesn't use resources, but files. When you assign a pixmap to a label, make sure you select "specify resource" instead of "specify image file".
