Deploy QT WebKitWidgets app to windows XP

374 views Asked by At

Coming from Linux, using QT5.4 (app compiles and works as expected)

If you are interested in the topic, just get fancybrowser example running on a XP machine without QT installed...

My first attempt was using MXE (and manually copying dlls). No success. set up VM with Windows XP. using windeployqt. app "works" but QWebView doesn't display anything.

trying qt.conf

[Paths]
Prefix=.

and more things. Still not successful.

windeployqt with all options to include webkit, compiler, angle... No success...

Reading about QWebEngine will be the next. Compiling a small example on Linux(OK) Windows (Mingw does not support qwebengine!!!). So before setting up a new vm with windows 8 (msvc 2010 does not support qwebengine) and may find out the the app won't run on XP.... and porting from QWebView to QWebEngineView....

Please help: How to deploy webkitwidgets app on windows? (without installing Qt, which will be my last chance...)

Edit

Next step done was Running ProcessExplorer on the dev machine and on the target machine. Parsing the output of the loaded dlls on both machines, they do not differ. All required dlls are loaded? Still no display...

The problem should be solved in Qt5.5.1 which was released last week. Just use the Deploy Tool of Qt :)
