Deploying Qt Applications

This document lists the platform-specific files needed to distribute Qt applications. (See also, Window System-specific Notes.)

Static Qt Applications

To distribute static Qt applications, you need the following file for all platforms:

Dynamic Qt Applications

To distribute dynamic Qt applications, you will need the following files for all platforms:

The Qt 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:

Platform File
Windows qt.dll
Unix/Linux libqt.so
Mac libqt.so##

You must include any plugin files used 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. styles, sqldrivers, designer, etc.).

Dynamic Dialogs

For dynamic dialogs if you use QWidgetFactory, you need the following files for all platforms:

The QUI library is provided by the following platform specific files:

Platform File
Windows qui.lib
Unix/Linux libqui.so
Mac libqui.so

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.

Qt Applications that use QSA

For Qt applications that use QSA, you need the following files for all platforms:

The QSA library is provided by the following platform specific files:

Platform File
Windows qsa.dll
Unix/Linux libqsa.so
Mac libqsa.so##
