After assembling the project release, transfer the exe file to a separate directory. I threw all the dll that he asked for to run. As a result, at startup it gives an error:

This is a Qt platform plugin "windows".

How to get rid of it? How to compile correctly?

    You need to create the platforms folder in the program folder and copy qwindows.dll there

    main add

     QStringList paths = QCoreApplication::libraryPaths(); paths.append("."); paths.append("imageformats"); paths.append("platforms"); paths.append("sqldrivers"); QCoreApplication::setLibraryPaths(paths);

    Here everything is described in detail http://habrahabr.ru/post/188816/

      I recommend using the environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 , i.e. in Windows cmd execute the following commands:

       set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 myQtApp

      Then Qt will write where it tries to look for the plugin and a detailed description of the errors.

      With me (Qt 5.5, Windows 7 Pro), he tried to look for a plugin in the current directory in the platforms folder. I put it there. After that it worked without changing the code and any other changes.
