Deploying Qt 5 App on Windows

by

Starting from Qt 5.2, there is windeployqt tool you can use. Just run it from command line to get help. But basic usage is, give it the .exe file, it will copy Qt dependencies to go with it.

You will want to use --qmldir option to let the tool know where your QML files are, so it can figure out the needed QML dependencies.

Note about testing: to make sure you have everything, test in computer with no Qt SDK, or temporarily rename the Qt directory. Otherwise the application might find missing files from there…
