Using Qt sdk 1.1

[kurrachow]

I just downloaded the QT sdk 1.1 as i was getting some errors in the previous versions of qt.

now How do i deploy my application with static linking in windows with mingw . the sdk doesnt have configure.exe.

how to i deploy my application.

Here (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/deployment-windows.html) is the documentation link.

Basically you need the Qt source code and you need to build that code static (the SDK is already built, but only dynamic) - you can use the SDK updater to download Qt source code and then follow the link tutorial to build the framework (they usually say nmake<Visual Studio make command>, don't forget to replace that with mingw32-make if you want to use MinGW compiler)

LE: If you go with static - make sure you obey the LGPL - since it's got some restrictions about static.

Or the simple method is to just copy the required .dll files in the same folder as the .exe

So when i download the 4.7.3 sources and configure and build it in static mode what happens to the already build dynamic ones.


so if i want my application to be deployed dynamically the shipped build is enough?? .

can u please elaborate.

You can use a different folder and everything will be ok. (i mean copy/move the source in C:\Qt4.7.3-static\ and build it in there)
You will just need to add a new Qt version in Qt Creator Projects tab. (i use this to target VC++ Qt build with Creator)

//i can't give you more details because i didn't built static Qt, but it should work fine the way i described earlier - as i said i have more versions that use total different tools (one uses MinGW and the other Visual Studio 2010).
