Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Generated .exe does not work

Hi,

seems you have a release build, so you need the Qt libraries without the 'd' suffix (Qt5Core.dll instead of Qt5Cored.dll). Might be windeployqt is not able to handle that.

I prefer to use tools/copydlldeps.sh/py from mxe, it crawls through the libraries and copies the necessary dll-s they link with.
Note that it does not copy the plugins you use, so you should copy those manually, you will at least need the platform plugin for windows (platforms/qwindows.dll).

You might also need to specify a qt.conf so that Qt knows where to find them

$ cat qt.conf
Prefix=.

Br,

Robert

Finally I am able to buld my hello world application with MXE.
I can successfully build for 4 tagets:

- x86_64-w64-mingw32.static
- i686-w64-mingw32.static
- x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared
- i686-w64-mingw32.share

Unfortunately all 4 do not work on my 64 Bit Windows 7

i686-w64-mingw32.shared (see shot1.png)
after running windeployqt.exe: (see shot2.png)

i686-w64-mingw32.static (see shot3.png)
windeployqt.exe: generates error:

C:\Users\thomas\Downloads\archive\archive\gui\src\qt_hallo\build\i686-w64-mingw32.static\qt_hallo.exe does not seem to be a Qt executable.

For the 64 Bit variant it's simmular.

There must be something essentional I've missed. Do you see it?
