how to get executable of a Qt project inorder to run it different machine?

[KillGabio]

when you try to run your application in the computer that doesnt have Qt you need to include the .DLL`s necessary to execute. If you try to run it you ll recieve error messages telling you what libraries you need to include. Most common are:

1. mingwm10.dll
2. QtCore4.dll
3. libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
4. QtGui4.dll

And if you connect to a database include a folder named sqldrivers with the DLL you use. You`ll find those libs in the Qt SKD folder (where you installled Qt)

Hope it helps!

If you need more information. A good search option "Static compile Qt", but since Qt is available to multiple platforms, each platform will be able to compile it himself ..

Do you use gcc or MSVC? And have you build the executable in release mode?

It's likely you took the wrong QtCore4.dll. Take the one under "qt" subdirectory of your QtSDK installation. The same goes for the rest of libraries.

Dependency walker is your friend.
Just run it on target box and load the executable, it will tell you exacly what's missing.
