Somthing about Qt install and deploy!

[cspp]

Hi
I have some trouble when I install the Qt4.5.3 at WinXP and VS2008.
at first I install the Qt at my OS like F:\Qt\4.5.3.
then use the "configure -no-webkit" and name later.
and all is ok.
then, I move the fole f:\Qt\4.5.3 to another folder: d:\Qt\4.5.3.

and now the program is: when I use the qmake to compile my program like the Qt example,
it does not work,it tell me the infomation like this:
"Could not find mkspescs for your MAKESPECS(win32-msvc2008) after trying:
F:\Qt\4.5.3\mkspecs".

then I set the env QMAKEPATH=D:\Qt\4.5.3
I can qmake my progrpam.
but,when I user the assistant,it tell me some infomation like this:
"Cannot load sqlite database driver!"

and all the ui language is english,but it should chinese.

so, who can help me how can I deal the trouble?
if I only have to reconfiure it and nmake it again?
thanks all

after you install Qt, the environment will be configured based on the initial folder where Qt was installed.
It is best to re-install to the proper location, d:\Qt\4.5.3 in your case or else you are going to have to make a lot of changes to the path, Qt creator etc.

I just find a way to make the qmake.exe go work.
but the assistant and other I do know how to configure?

[schnitzel]

well, if you want to do it the hard way...

How did you make the qmake work ?

Usually paths are hard coded inside qt when u install it. With installer, patches are applied and hence you can install them to any directory.
So as schnitzel said, uninstall and install fresh to new location.

Qt assistant and other qt applciation which uses plugins will look plugins in default path as F:\Qt\4.5.3 this path in your case.

As you have moved your qt to different location. it is not able to load sqlite module.

There is various ways you can do.

Either you Reconfigure and rebuild your Qt from D: drive,

OR Just copy d:\Qt\4.5.3\plugin to f:\Qt\4.5.3\plugin
that will at least start your assistant and other applications

Ohh ya i will also agree with aamer, you should rebuild your Qt

Qt Software SDK uses some other way. Installer packed with some utility (patch.exe), that changes «hard linked directories paths» to new location. I don’t know where to find it and how it works

set the env QMAKEPATH=D:\Qt\4.5.3 like this.
them you can qmake your program.

yes,when you configure the Qt,it will generl the qtconfig.cpp and qtconfig.h . in the cpp,it will record the Qt path like F:\Qt\4.5.3.
and when you run the qmake.exe,it will find the mkspecs path from qtconfig.cpp,but if you set the env QMKAEPATH,it will find the mkspecs path
use the QMAKESPECS first. so I just set the env,and the qmake.exe goes ok.

in Qt3,if I chenge the path,the Qt was also work well, shy.

qpatch.zip
I found it Here is qpatch.exe and simple file list to patch.

C:\>qpatch --help
Usage: qpatch file.list oldQtDir newQtDir
