Deploy from ubuntu QT to any PC statically?

If will save you a lot of pain in the ar***. That's exactly what I needed to know! I already have a PC with XP(Hmm I really should update my sig). Heck I'll start downloading Qt/Win32 now.

Just to confirm I'm gonna follow the steps under Windows in this link, which is basically put all libraries needed in the same directory with executable and voila! its dynamically linked.

You mean the "program too big for memory" error? Yeah I didn't know about cross compiling then so I compiled in linux and just moved the executable over to my XP.

I should try it out later today, so I'll post my progress(hopefully my success) then.

I installed Qt/Win32 under XP. I compiled the source and was able to run the program from Qt. I have a folder named release with an executable and some files.

When I click the executable it asks for mingw32.dll, i put it in there then it asks for some other files, dlls. I put them in and when I run the executable it gives "The procedure entry point _Z5qFreePv could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCore4.dll."

Using dependency walker I found out which dlls i needed, download them and copy into the folder. Yet the QTCORE4.dll and QTGUI4.dll are still red with error: system cannot find the files. I used the ones in Qt/qt/bin, in Qt/bin, even downloaded new ones. No change. Most tiring, i shall try again tomorrow.

So after using dependency walker to find what dlls i'm missing in release folder, I copied them and qtcore4.dll and qtgui4.dll into the same folder with executable. Got the error asking for qtcore4.dll and I know if it was debug mode I was to use qtcored4.dll so I just copied both to folder and it worked, dunno why.

I compiled in release mode and got the folder release with the executable and put in the right qtcore4.dll and qtgui4.dll, the ones in Qt/qt/bin not Qt/bin, but got that error, strange. Anyway problem solved so far I just need to test it on a XP without Qt installed. Will post back when I test it later today.

It works perfectly on a XP machine without Qt. Thank you for the assist.
