It depends what you want to do. If you want a "Qt GUI Application" then yes.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

Thanks ,,then how can i see my exe file??

You have to be more descriptive about your problems. What do you mean by "how can I see my exe file"?

Qt program already is an exe file. Just run it.

sorry
am having qt program

A set of C++ source files and supporting files, right?

i have to convert this Qt program to exe file for testing

Yes, that will help

how can i convert my qt program to exe file?

You compile the C++ source code with your compiler and Qt utilities. If this is a third party package then it will generally come with instructions for doing just this. The general pattern is:

• Run qmake (or CMake if that is being used)
• Run make
• Run program
• Profit

Are you asking where the compiler put your application binary after compilation?

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

yes wysota,,after compilation i got build folder of my filename

If you use QtCreator then the output directory is whatever you put in the Build Settings group in the Project pane if shadow build is active or the default target directory for your platform relative to project directory otherwise.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

after creation of my qt program i got

filename.pro
filem=name.pro.user
widget.cpp
widget.h
main.cpp
widget.ui

filename.pro
filem=name.pro.user
widget.cpp
widget.h
main.cpp
widget.ui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after compilation over i got

filename
main.o
makefile
moc_widget.cpp
moc_widget.o
ui_widget.o
widget.o

filename
main.o
makefile
moc_widget.cpp
moc_widget.o
ui_widget.o
widget.o

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

from this how can i find my exe file??

"filename" is your exe file.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

Why are you asking me that? Ask the one who you are going to send the file to.

[iswaryasenthilkumar]

i have sent this filename(exe) in mail for testing ,, but my tester mailed "The file u sent is not the executable file. it is some data file." i have attache my screen shots,,that diamond symbol is my exe file ??? still i dnt clear in my doubt plss help meScreenshot from 2015-05-05 15:14:00.jpg

"filename" is your exe file.

Yes, the file named "digital" with the diamond-shaped icon is the executable file. For your information:

• the "*.o" files (a.k.a. the object files) are the files obtained by compiling the .cpp source files individually;
• the "moc_*.cpp" files are C++ source files generated by Qt (more precisely, the moc) that implement the runtime of Qt's object model for your QObject-derived classes;
• the "ui_*.h" files are C++ source headers generated by Qt Designer that implement the UI of the widgets created in the designer;
• "Makefile" is the platform-specific makefile generated by qmake to drive the build process.

What is the operating system of the tester ?
