On GCC, you have to ship the GCC runtime library, unless you statically link it.

The advantage of Visual C++ is that its more common and thus more likely to already be installed on the PC. It's even shipped with the OS, but of course you can't confirm that its the correct version until its too late, so you normally distribute your program and Visual C runtime seperately unless it commercial, in which case, you bundle both together on the CD.

Do note however, that there are incompatibilities between GCC and VC++. For example, compiler extensions (such as structure alignment and padding), different library files, etc, so it might not be as easy as doing your entire project under QtCreator and just recompiling under VC++ before deployment.
Hi,
Which is the Visual C++ run time library that I have to ship with the application?
