Question

i wrote a program in Qt-Creator 1.3.1 and Qt 4.6.2 and realy dont figure out how to create a simple .exe file for the program i just wrote... i rather do it with the Qt-Creator if it's possible

Answer 1

In Qt Creator, when you build (Ctrl+B) your project, it always creates a .exe that is executed when you run the app from Qt Creator (Ctrl+R or the big play button).

If you want to find this .exe, you should look in the folder where your .pro (the project file) is located in the folder debug (or release depending on your build configuration).

Answer 2

@Live is right. See in release or debug dir. But if you move the .exe and want to execute you will get notofications about DLL's that miss. You can find them from yout Qt installation dir. Put next to your exe file all required DLL's and you're done! The DLL files will tell your your exe file while you execute it!
