qtcreator - exe does work fine inside qtcreator but doesn't outside
qt, qt-creator, qt5, release, windows-7
Solution
Solved it! All I had to do was to download "libEGL.dll" and put it in the directory where my exe file is located. Of course all the other .dll files from qt were needed, too. But these were explicitly mentioned in an error message. But for the "libEGL.dll" there is not even an error message. The .dll files that were listed in "dependency walker" can be ignored. For my problem this tool didn't really help. It didn't list the libEGL.dll but listed other .dll files which are in fact unused.
Problem
I want to give a friend of mine a release build of a little project. It works perfectly fine when started from inside qtcreator, but doesn't open when double-clicked on the .exe file. It doesn't even give me an error message. Now when I tried to copy a few Qt .dll files (like Qt5Core.dll, Qt5Gui.dll, Qt5Widgets.dll) next to my exe file, it didn't change anything. How can I know what dependencies my project has? The .pro file doesn't tell me so much ``` QT += core gui greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets TARGET = project1 TEMPLATE = app SOURCES += main.cpp\ mainwindow.cpp HEADERS += mainwindow.h FORMS += mainwindow.ui ``` I'm working on Windows 7 (64 bit), Qt Creator 2.6.1 based on Qt 5.0.0 (32 bit) thanks for any help Sadik edit: solution can be seen in my answer
