portable qt application on windows

[eleanor]

Hey, I was just wondering. If I write an appliction in linux and want it to be usable in windows too and I don't want to istall all the QT libraries and headers, can I just include the relative headers in my application using a relative path "lib/QDialog" and put headers inside the /lib directory in my application's main directory, would it work?

I don't know if I completely understand your question, but ... You definetly need the respective libs. A header is like a interface description for the libs. Without the libs, it is useless. On windows, you can place the needed libs in form of dlls (QtCore4.dll, QtGui.dll etc.) in the same directory where your binary resides. This way the application will find those on startup. So you can have a minimal selfcontained directory housing all your apps binary and all libs it depends on.
