Sorry, I don't get your question quite right, but for deploying an application have a look here
(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/deployment.html).

There are two differences:
1. Under Windows you have a console with a black background whereas under Linux you can configure colours of the terminal ;)
2. Under Linux you get an ELF binary, whereas under Windows you don't ;)

And seriously, there are no differences apart the fact you are using a different compiler. The deployment is a bit different but experience shows it is easier in Linux than in Windows so if you get it right here, it will be easier there.

Although I am still new with Qt, my qt applications work just as well in 64 bit linux as they do in 32 bit windows. There were a few minor changes (standards compliance with my own template classes) needed to get stuff to compile under gcc-4.3 versus visual studio but this was minor.

You can use the dependacy walker to see what dlls the applications needs.

Or you can run the exe, and it will show error of missing dll, copy that dll, till u dont get any error and your exe runs :)

I think that I do it as you write, but I dont know, if there are differences between for example Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows XP sp1, etc. ...
