    I added the line you said. My .pro is now:

    Qt Code:
    1. #-------------------------------------------------
    2. #
    3. # Project created by QtCreator 2012-12-28T05:07:27
    4. #
    5. #-------------------------------------------------
    6.  
    7. QT += core gui
    8. CONFIG += static
    9.  
    10. greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
    11.  
    12. TARGET = GraphIt
    13. TEMPLATE = app
    14.  
    15.  
    16. SOURCES += main.cpp\
    17. mainwindow.cpp \
    18. about.cpp \
    19. graph.cpp \
    20. fullgraph.cpp
    21.  
    22. HEADERS += mainwindow.h \
    23. about.h \
    24. graph.h \
    25. fullgraph.h
    26.  
    27. FORMS += mainwindow.ui \
    28. about.ui \
    29. graph.ui \
    30. fullgraph.ui
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    It still asked me for the .dll upon opening

    If you want a static build of the application then you need to build Qt statically and have static versions of all Qt's dependencies. I'd advise against that if you don't feel comfortable with controlling the linker. I suggest you try to fix your dynamic deployment instead. If you have a 32bit build of Qt then you need 32bit msvc runtime. You can start by dumping all dlls from your Qt installation's bin directory into the same directory your exe sits in and see if it works. If yes then you can start eliminating libraries your application doesn't use. If not then it's likely that the problem is unrelated to dynamic linking.

    Do not modify any system paths and do not copy anything else anywhere and do not modify your project file in any way.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
