    Default Re: Custom Qt dll name

    If you have more than 1 Qt app on the machine, simply put the qt-mtx.dll that the app was built with in the same directory as the application. That way the PATH is irrelevant as the app will always look in the directory it was launched from for the dll before looking on the PATH.

    It's got to be easier than trying to build qt with a custom name.

    It's not as simple as that I'm afraid :-(
    I agree, on Windows that is a fairly safe bet though it isn't unknown for another application to 'find' your dll and use that which can cause problems if your dll configuration differs from what the other application is expecting.

    This is probably more of a problem on Linux and as the application I'm talking about runs on Linux and Windows and both applications ship in the same distro I want to maintain a consistent naming convention.

    Thanks for the feedback though,
    tony
