| 55 | <p> <h2> Static Qt Applications
|
|---|
| 56 | </h2>
|
|---|
| 57 | <a name="1"></a><p> To distribute static Qt applications, you need the following file for
|
|---|
| 58 | all platforms:
|
|---|
| 59 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 60 | <li> your application's executable
|
|---|
| 61 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 62 | <p> <h2> Dynamic Qt Applications
|
|---|
| 63 | </h2>
|
|---|
| 64 | <a name="2"></a><p> To distribute dynamic Qt applications, you will need the following
|
|---|
| 65 | files for all platforms:
|
|---|
| 66 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 67 | <li> application executable
|
|---|
| 68 | <li> the Qt library
|
|---|
| 69 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 70 | <p> The Qt library must either be in the same directory as the application
|
|---|
| 71 | executable or in a directory which is included in the system library
|
|---|
| 72 | path.
|
|---|
| 73 | <p> The library is in provided by the following platform specific files:
|
|---|
| 74 | <p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
|

|

| 79 | </table></center>
|
|---|
| 80 | <p> <em>version</em> includes the three version numbers. For threaded builds the
|
|---|
| 81 | version is prefixed with <em>-mt</em>.
|
|---|
| 82 | <p> <h3> Distributing Plugins
|
|---|
| 83 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 84 | <a name="2-1"></a><p> You must include any plugin files required by the application.
|
|---|
| 85 | <p> Plugins must be put into a subdirectory under a directory known to
|
|---|
| 86 | Qt as a plugin directory. The subdirectory must have the name of the
|
|---|
| 87 | plugin category (e.g. <tt>styles</tt>, <tt>sqldrivers</tt>, <tt>designer</tt>, etc.).
|
|---|
| 88 | <p> Qt searches in the following directories for plugin categories:
|
|---|
| 89 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 90 | <li> Application specific plugin paths
|
|---|
| 91 | <li> Build-directory of Qt
|
|---|
| 92 | <li> The application directory
|
|---|
| 93 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 94 | <p> Application specific plugin paths can be added using
|
|---|
| 95 | <a href="qapplication.html#addLibraryPath">QApplication::addLibraryPath</a>(). The build-directory of Qt is hardcoded
|
|---|
| 96 | in the Qt library and can be changed as a part of the installation
|
|---|
| 97 | process (see the <a href="distributor-example.html">distributor-example.html</a> Distributor example).
|
|---|
| 98 | <p> <h2> Dynamic Dialogs
|
|---|
| 99 | </h2>
|
|---|
| 100 | <a name="3"></a><p> For dynamic dialogs if you use <a href="qwidgetfactory.html">QWidgetFactory</a>, you need the following
|
|---|
| 101 | files for all platforms:
|
|---|
| 102 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 103 | <li> The same files as used for dynamic Qt applications
|
|---|
| 104 | <li> The QUI Library
|
|---|
| 105 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 106 | <p> The QUI library is provided by the following platform specific files:
