\title Deploying TQt Applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document lists the platform-specific files needed to distribute
|
|
|
|
Qt applications. We do not include any compiler-specific files that
|
|
|
|
may also be required. (See also, \link winsystem.html Window
|
|
|
|
System-specific Notes\endlink.)

|
|
\section1 Static TQt Applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To distribute static TQt applications, you need the following file for
|
|
|
|
all platforms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
|
|
\i your application's executable
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section1 Dynamic TQt Applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To distribute dynamic TQt applications, you will need the following
|
|
|
|
files for all platforms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
|
|
\i application executable
|
|
|
|
\i the TQt library
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQt library must either be in the same directory as the application
|
|
|
|
executable or in a directory which is included in the system library
|
|
|
|
path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The library is in provided by the following platform specific files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\table
|
|
|
|
\header \i Platform \i File
|
|
|
|
\row \i Windows \i \c qt[version].dll
|
|
|
|
\row \i Unix/Linux \i \c libtqt[version].so
|
|
|
|
\row \i Mac \i \c libtqt[version].dylib
|
|
|
|
\endtable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\e version includes the three version numbers. For threaded builds the
|
|
|
|
version is prefixed with \e {-mt}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section2 Distributing Plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You must include any plugin files required by the application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plugins must be put into a subdirectory under a directory known to
|
|
|
|
Qt as a plugin directory. The subdirectory must have the name of the
|
|
|
|
plugin category (e.g. \c styles, \c sqldrivers, \c designer, etc.).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Qt searches in the following directories for plugin categories:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
|
|
\i Application specific plugin paths
|
|
|
|
\i Build-directory of Qt
|
|
|
|
\i The application directory
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Application specific plugin paths can be added using
|
|
|
|
QApplication::addLibraryPath(). The build-directory of TQt is hardcoded
|
|
|
|
in the TQt library and can be changed as a part of the installation
|
|
|
|
process (see the \l distributor-example.html Distributor example).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section1 Dynamic Dialogs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For dynamic dialogs if you use QWidgetFactory, you need the following
|
|
|
|
files for all platforms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
|
|
\i The same files as used for dynamic TQt applications
|
|
|
|
\i The QUI Library
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The QUI library is provided by the following platform specific files:
|
|
|
|
\table
|
|
|
|
\header \i Platform \i File
|
|
|
|
\row \i Windows \i\c tqui.lib
|
|
|
|
\row \i Unix/Linux \i\c libtqui.so
|
|
|
|
\row \i Mac \i \c libtqui.dylib
|
|
|
|
\endtable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The QUI library must either be in the same directory as the
|
|
|
|
application executable or in a directory which is included in the
|
|
|
|
system library path.
