What I need to do to launch my compiled .exe

**shcmack** · 25th November 2008, 05:38

When I've compiled something from QT Designer, and I want to launch the .exe on another computer, I need to do the following:
- Download and install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
- Put the following dll's in the same folder as the app (mingwm10.dll | msvcp71.dll | msvcr71.dll | QtCore4.dll | QtGui4.dll)

So I'm wondering, is there some way to integrate these files into the executable? Or atleast not having to install the Visual C++ Redistributable package?

If you build your application statically you will not need these files.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by building the application statically?

Do you really need the Visual C++ libraries? As far as i know you should either need these or the MinGW library (see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/deploym...onal-libraries), at least this works for me using the Open Source version of Qt with MinGW.
