I have created a program in Qt using Qt Creator. When I open it, the message appears "The program can't start because Qt5Cored.dll and Qt5widgetsx.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
copy required libraries from you Qt installation to the directory of executable.
Have you really got a static compiled version of Qt? and are you statically compiling your project?... if so your output executable will be around 30-40mb.... and it won't be asking you for dlls.
However it looks like you have a dynamically linked output, in which case you need to find all the DLLs that your projects uses. You can get these from the folder:
<installpath>\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin for example (different if you use linux / msvc)
Keep running the program and grab each dll it complains about... or use somthing like dependency walker (a free executable you can find online) to help determine which DLLs you need.
You probably need (For windows, using mingw):
Qt5Widgets.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Core.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Or the debug version in your case which end in "d" e.g.: Qt5Core.dll (release), Qt5Cored.dll (debug). Note versions may be different for your installation version. Copy these files next to your executable. OR include <installpath>\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin in your path.
You need to add all the required dlls
C:\Qt\5.2.1\mingw48_32\bin\
to your project. https://forum.qt.io/topic/50705/solved-qt3d-executable-error-qt5cored-dll-is-missing-from-your-computer/2 should solve your problem.

I have made the appropriate modification as found in this thread to enable the Qt sqlite plugin to load extensions. However, when I run SELECT load_extension('spatialite_mod'), I now get the error The specified module could not be found
On a Windows Qt installation, where do I need to put the spatialite_mod.dll file so that it can be found a runtime? I have already tried putting it in the binary directory without any success.
This turned out to be a multi-part problem.
The answer to the original question is that Qt looks for the libraries in the working directory (QDir::currentPath()) and in the Windows PATH.
Part 1:
On Windows, the specified module could not be found error also can mean that one of mod_spatialite.dll dependencies was not found. In my case, I had forgotten to move these dependencies to the same directory as mod_spatialite.dll. They include:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libsqlite3-0.dll
libxml2-2.dll
zlib1.dll
libfreexl-1.dll
libgeos_c-1.dll
libgeos-3-5-0.dll
libiconv-2.dll
liblzma-5.cll
libproj-9.dll
Part 2:
The libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll libraries shipped with libspatialite do not work with Windows 10. Read more about this here and here. They would crash the program when loaded. The fix for me was to grab the same libraries from my Qt installation at C:\Qt\5.11.3\mingw53_32.
I set this build step to add deployment DLLs to my release folder:
Command: %{Qt:QT_INSTALL_BINS}/windeployqt.exe
Arguments: "%{CurrentProject:NativePath}\bin\server.exe" --no-translations
The correct QtXXXX.dll files are copied, but incorrect libstdc++-6.dll is added. The correct one is located at QTDIR/bin/libstdc++-6.dll, but instead, windeployqt.exe copies this DLL file from C:\MinGW\bin. If I try to run the application, I get this error:
How can I tell windeployqt.exe to copy mingw files from %{Qt:QT_INSTALL_BINS} instead of my MinGW installation folder?
The version of Qt I am using is Qt5.6.0-MinGW with mingw49_32.
If you don't use the batch file that sets up the environment and comes with Qt then just make sure that the first compiler g++.exe found be windeployqt.exe is the one coming with Qt and not the one that got installed with MinGW. This way the correct library will get copied.
As an example from my own current installation:
Qt is installed to C:\Qt\Qt5.8.0 and MinGW to C:\MinGW. Hence I add C:\Qt\Qt5.8.0\Tools\mingw530_32\bin before C:\MinGW\bin to my PATH. These two paths each contain a compiler g++.exe.
I'm working on a program with Qt 5.5 in the IDE Qt Creator 3.4.2 (Community). The program can be started normally in the IDE, but when I try to double-click the .exe file, it says
Cannot find the entry point for the procedure __cxa_throw_bad_array_new_length in library D:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin\Qt5Test.dll
and
Cannot find the entry point for the procedure __cxa_throw_bad_array_new_length in library D:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin\Qt5Core.dll
I have added
D:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin;D:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin;
to my environmental variable.
Any ideas about what's wrong?
I think currently your program is using dlls from the folders:
D:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin;D:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin;
And the correct one is:
D:\Qt\Qt5.5\Tools\QtCreator\bin\
(Make sure it is correct on your machine)
This is the one Qt Creator is using. You need to add it to PATH before mingw path or copy dlls you need from it to your folder with your exe.
Actually, libstdc++-6.dll is needed
I am trying to build an QT application with version 5.4.
and when ever I am trying to run the exe on a different machine where QT is not installed I am getting below error "The program cannot start because QT5core.dll is missing from your computer, Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
and when I copied QT5core.dll with the exe in a machine where QT is not installed its working fine.
Is there any way that I can link QT5core.dll with the exe statically so that whatever place I run this exe it should not ask for any dll.
Thanks,
Tushar
You can build a standalone version of your Qt application so that it doesn't have any library dependencies at runtime. Be warned though: this can greatly expand the size of the .exe generated and the compilation time. Have a look here:
https://wiki.qt.io/Build_Standalone_Qt_Application_for_Windows
and here:
https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_build_a_static_Qt_version_for_Windows_with_gcc
I have ported an existing Qt4 application Qt5 and added some extra (simple) functionality to this application.
The old application came with
libgcc_s_dw2_1.dll
libusb-1.0.dll
mingwm10.dll
QtCore4.dll
QtCored4.dll
QtGui.dll
Now, from QtCreator I am able to run my modified application, but problems occur when preparing deployment. I have used dependancy walker on my .exe and included a load of DLL's in my executables directory.
icudt51.dll
icuin51.dll
icuuc51.dll
IEShims.dll
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libGLESv2.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libusb-1.0.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
mingwm10.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Cored.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Guid.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
Qt5Widgetsd.dll
QtCored4.dll
(Yes, the project size is now extremely large due to the DLL's, but in my use case this is not an issue.)
And finally it didn't complain about missing DLL's. The error message posted when trying to execute the .exe is:
The procedure entry point ?testBit#QBitArray##QBE_NH#Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Qt5Core.dll
I have never tried executing a Qt application outside Qt Creator, so I have really no idea what to do.
If it helps:
Under Projects-> qmake build config : Release -> Effective qmake call I have
qmake.exe D:\Product\test_util.pro -r -spec win32-g++
If any more information is required to make anything more clear, please leave a comment about it.
I had the same problem on Qt 5.4.2 after slightly modifying my code to add new functionality depending on OpenGL. What I did was use Qt's Window's Deployment tool.
Create a folder and place your binary in it
Using cmd issue the following command depending on which version of binary you have:
windeployqt --release Name_Of_Binary
windeployqt --debug Name_Of_Binary
Depending on which version of Qt Creator you have, you might have to manually copy the lib*.dll's to the directory. This bug is not present in Qt 5.4.2 but was present in earlier versions.
