standalone Qt .Exe

Hi,

Here is my QT project release makefile:

I'm compiling using mingw Gcc on windows.

For some reason it won't work when launched on a machine where QT isn't installed.
Is there any special flag to specify to get a fully standalone .exe ?

Thanks.

Mr Arnaud.

You need to recompile Qt as static libraries and then to link your program against those static libs rather than against dlls that come by default... This is a tedious way to go but the only one if you neither want to distribute dlls along your exe nor to force end users to have Qt installed...

Hello,

It's actual for other platforms?
For example MAC OS X and Linux.

I never tried the Mac, but the wiki for building static on Linux is ok,
I use that procedure every time when I install a newer version of Qt.
