    Question How to build library-independent executable?

    Hi there,
    I wrote an application in Qt 4.1 and I would like to build a win32 .exe file which could be launched on every windows system, whether or not the Qt libraries are installed. Is it possible? I think that I should link it somehow to insert needed libraries into the executable, but I don't know how.
    Any suggestions?

    You can either distribute Qt DLLs along with your program, or compile the static version of the Qt and use static linking ("CONFIG += static", AFAIR).

    Does the "depends" tool come with the open source version for windows?

    The dependency walker util is not related to Qt.
