How to build a Windows release, which includes all Qt dependencies?

[ghackenberg]

Hi @leozide,

I would like to build a Windows release of my LeoCAD fork/branch, which I can distribute to colleagues and students.

I managed to get QtCreator up an running for LeoCAD development ... that works perfectly fine!

But I have troubles configuring my build system, such that a distribuable release with all the Qt dependencies comes out. When I run the release build from outside QtCreator, the executable tries to load the Qt dependencies dynamically, but cannot find them on my system obviously.

Of course I could add the Qt framework binaries to my PATH environment variable, but that would not work on my colleagues and my students computers. I tried adding QMake configuration options instead as suggested here and shown in the following screenshot. But that did not work...

Can you help me on this? That would be great! Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards, Georg
