EXE File problem

[triperzz]

I am using a window xp/2000 os in my qt4.
here's my problem:
i did build an .exe file, and yes it was running... however after i trasfered it in a computer that has no QT in it, it requires some .dll file like Qcore4.dll, Gui4.dll etc.. Isn't it that when you build an exe file it must include these files already so that the exe file will run even if thers no .dll file included... after i copy these .dll file my exe file runs.... however my connection to the database fails...

im using the "QODBC" as a databasename in my codes. It was running if i have a QT in my computer but if i dont i cant connect to the database...

or is their a guide in correct deployment of a program?

you need Qt libs on the PC you are deploying your application - or - you can link your application statically.
You also need the ODBC Qt driver in your case.

y is it that i need to copy all this file??
can i just #include it in my program so that when my program build an exe file it will no longer require some dll files? or is it possible?

wat lib should i include so that my connection to the database work?

or can i just change my connection to the database like:

QSqldatabase db= QSqldatabase::AddDatabaseName("QODBC"); but when i use this it doesnt work if the computer has no QT installed, even if i have an MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver installed... what should i do??

hi all,

still i have the same problem even if i follow this several steps

configure -static-release-no-exceptions (i dunno if this is the right code)

then

mingw32-make sub-src

yeah it works! it no logger requires the .dlls to run but still, i cant connect to database....

i need to do this several steps first:

copy:
QTCore4.dll
QTSql4.dll

plus

qsqlodbc4.dll with the "path" (included all the folders where it was)
if i only copy the .dll file w/out the path it will not work...

y is it like that?
