Application fails to load gif/jpeg graphic on PC without QT

QT4.6.1
QtCreator 1.3.1
windows 7, windows XP

In my application I'm loading graphic using qrc file: e.g. setPixmap(QPixmap(tr(":wndicons/close_icon.gif")));
All works fine on machine where I have QT installed.

When I try to run my app on "clean" PC it fails even if I copy all possible qt dlls to my application exe folder including qgif4.dll. The program runs fine but showing only png images. What Im missing here?

the problem solved!

qgif4.dll have to be placed in subfolder "imageformats" :)

Maybe you should put them in the plugins directory instead :-)

note that each type of plugin should be located within a specific subdirectory (such as imageformats or sqldrivers) within your distribution directory
