I have a problem with building an application file (*.exe) on windows. I create a simple project and run on QtCreator the result is:
It hasn't any error and warning. After that, I build it with release using kit is Desktop Qt 5.12.1 MSVC2017 64-bit, I got a folder release after rebuild with qmlTest.exe
To continues, I deploy it to follow this link
Deployment Qt apps on Windows
I got some files into the release file of my project
But when I click on qmlTest.exe nothing appears, no error, no missing dll files notifications. I checked process task and no qmlTest was running.
Who can tell me what I was wrong?
Thanks for your kind help!
You are missing some folders & files like QtQml and QtQuick etc..
Qt has a tool called "windeployqt.exe" to do exactly this.
It is used from the Console like this:
windeployqt.exe --dir PATH_TO_DEPLOY --compiler-runtime --release --qmldir PATH_TO_QML MY_EXE
PATH_TO_DEPLOY: an empty folder where you would like the dependencies to be copied
PATH_TO_QML: the folder where you have your qml files
MY_EXE: path to your executable
So in your case, it would look something like this:
C:\Qt\5.12.1\msvc2017_64\bin\windeployqt.exe --dir C:\Users\...\Desktop\deployFolder --compiler-runtime --release --qmldir C:\Users\...\Desktop\QmlTest\qml C:\Users\...\Desktop\build-qmlTest-Desktop_Qt...-Release\release\qmlTest.exe
After running the tool, all the files you need will be in the deployFolder. You just have to copy the executable from the release folder and you're done.

When I build flutter for windows with flutter build windows it generates a .exe file with its .dll files etc. However, running that file (.exe) gives me a white screen and my app is not running normally.
Running flutter run --release -d windows however builds my app normally and I can use it.
What is wrong here that running the .exe file is not starting my app properly?
This is my release folder structure when running flutter build windows:
Running the .exe file:
I was using sqflite_common_ffi on Windows and this was causing the issue. Initializing it was only valid for debug thus I had to add the sqlite3.dll to the release build folder. Then it worked fine like before when starting the .exe file.

I am trying to implement Bamboo into creating an IPA file or APK file using Xbuild but I am getting 1 warning and 1 error:
The warning is the following:
/usr/local/Cellar/mono/4.6.2.7/lib/mono/xbuild/14.0/bin/Microsoft.Common.targets: warning : Unable to find framework corresponding to the target framework moniker '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78'. Framework assembly references will be resolved from the GAC, which might not be the intended behavior.
The error is this:
/usr/local/Cellar/mono/4.6.2.7/lib/mono/xbuild/14.0/bin/Microsoft.Common.targets: error : PCL Reference Assemblies not installed.
I am unsure why this is happening because when I open the project in Xamarin studio and build it, it will be successful, and when I run it the app is fully functional with no problems at all. I have located the file location of the profile 78 in the version 4.5 and it exists, I have the latest installed version of Mono Development Kit (MDK). How can it build correctly in Xamarin but not in Bamboo, is it do with how I locate the files?
I have also tried to create the APK file on the terminal but got the same error as well. I have tried a lot of fixes like uninstalling mono and reinstalling, I added .NETPortable from windows to Mac but that didn't work, why can't my mac find the profile 78 it is located on my mac.
The file /usr/local/Cellar/mono/4.6.2.7/lib/mono/xbuild/14.0/bin/microsoft.common.targets seems to be looking for the .NetPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=78 but I have that in this location: Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/4.6.2/lib/mono/xbuild.frameworks/.NetPortable/v4.5/Profile/Profile78 and I have pasted the .NetPortable folder in multiple locations to try and fix this error. Where am I going wrong?
Although I have not touched Bamboo for quite some time(3+ years), one thing I personally do is to ensure your xbuild command works like a charm in a local environment with a similar setup. Seeing that you tried to create an .apk through the terminal and got the same error sounds like an installation error. The PCL Reference Assemblies should be apart of the MDK on MacOS. Seeing that you have it installed, it sounds like a potential issue with file permissions of the Bamboo user account.
To create an .apk file, you need to use the /t:PackageForAndroid target against your Android project when invoking xbuild.
EX:
xbuild XamarinAndroidApplication.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /t:PackageForAndroid
You can also use the SignAndroidPackage target given the notes here:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/under_the_hood/build_process/#Build_Targets
xbuild XamarinAndroidApplication.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /t:SignAndroidPackage
If you wanted to use the MSBuild equivalents, it would look like this:
msbuild MyAndroidApp.sln
msbuild /t:SignAndroidPackage MyAndroidApp.csproj
I am developing an app for multiple platforms using Cordova. Grunt is used as a build tool. I use it to copy my source code to the right folder for each platform so I can develop them independently.
This works fine with Android using the scripts that are provided by Cordova. However, I have no idea if or how it is possible to automate the WP build process. I'm looking for two things:
Add all files in the www directory to the VS project (it does not include files that are not added to the project, which is sad).
Build, install and run the app in the emulator. I used adb & Grunt's exec for Android which was really simple, is there something similar for WP?
If you look in a cordova windows phone project there is a directory called 'cordova' which contains scripts to do all of this.
There should be scripts to build and run your project.
The run script can pretty much do it all. You can call it like :
run --device --release
or
run --emulator --debug
or just
run
A recent commit now makes it possible to use www\** in the .csproj file, which solved my first issue.
I have an application written with Qt (I use VS + Integrator). Need to set an icon for it. I read "Setting the Application Icon" tutorial, but i can't use this method because I have no *.pro file. Googled for an hour and found no solution :( Any suggestions?
Create an application which is simply an empty QMainWindow (or some other widget) and then create a qmake project for it. You can typically do this with:
qmake -project
Then modify the qmake file per the Setting the Application Icon tutorial and rebuild your Makefile by running qmake.
Now examine the commands that are being executed and emulate that process on your build system.
These instructions might work if you're running Visual Studio.
I'm trying to deploy my simple Qt project like a hello world.
I build it successfully and can also execute it on Qt-Creator. However, I can't execute the binary directly in the release folder due to some shared library errors.
So I just copy some essential librarys to the release folder such as qtcore.dll and qtgui.dll, but I can't still execute it.
How can I deploy my simple Qt project? Is there an another step to deploy it?
You also need to deploy the MINGW runtime dll (mingwm10.dll). This file is located in your Qt\2009.5\mingw\bin directory.
Also pay attention to whether your application is compiled in debug mode or release mode. I just made the test with an hello world type application and Qt Creator. In the debug folders, I copied libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, mingwm10.dll, QtCored4.dll and QtGuid4.dll and it works.
Pay attention to the d in dll names, which stands for debug: QtCore d 4.dll.
See Qt 4.6: Deploying an Application in Windows.
For Qt 5, check this page.
If you don't want to have dependencies with qt/mingw dlls you should compile qt statically as explain here: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/deployment-windows.html#static-linking.
You may also use static linking, just add this line into the .pro file:
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static-libgcc
I found the solution here and successfully tested on WinXP with QT creator 2.2.0
Try running dependency walker on it (http://dependencywalker.com/) to see which dlls are missing?
Generally, you won't need to move those Qt libraries into your local folder since the Qt installation should've added those libraries into your path.
One possibility is that you built debug, and the Qt debug dlls are named differently
copy all the qt dlls to your windows directory directly "C:\Windows\" and there will be no qt dll error
100% working and simple
nb: do not create a qt dll folder in your windows directory post them as they are
