Running Qt applications on windows

[Maluko_Da_Tola]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is always necessary to have the QtCored4.dll and QtGuid4.dll in the same folder of the .exe file. These files are really big (QtGuid4.dll is about 144 megabytes!!) and therefore the need for these files is not practical. Can a Qt application run on a computer that does not have these .dll files?

Thank you

No, if you have a Qt GUI application you need both the code and gui dll's.

But, you do not need to package them with your application.
If you install them in the windows system folder, you only need to install it once.

QtGuid4.dll is about 144 megabytes!!

Why do you want to deploy the debug library? Build your application in release mode. The dll size will then be 9 MB.
