<p> This document lists the platform-specific files needed to distribute
TQt applications. We do not include any compiler-specific files that
may also be required. (See also, <a href="winsystem.html">Window
System-specific Notes</a>.)

<p> <h2> Static TQt Applications
</h2>
<a name="1"></a><p> To distribute static TQt applications, you need the following file for
all platforms:
<p> <ul>
<li> your application's executable
</ul>
<p> <h2> Dynamic TQt Applications
</h2>
<a name="2"></a><p> To distribute dynamic TQt applications, you will need the following
files for all platforms:
<p> <ul>
<li> application executable
<li> the TQt library 
</ul>
<p> The TQt library must either be in the same directory as the application
executable or in a directory which is included in the system library
path.
<p> The library is in provided by the following platform specific files:
<p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Platform <th valign="top">File
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Windows <td valign="top"><tt>qt[version].dll</tt>
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">Unix/Linux <td valign="top"><tt>libtqt[version].so</tt>
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Mac <td valign="top"><tt>libtqt[version].dylib</tt>
</table></center>
<p> <em>version</em> includes the three version numbers. For threaded builds the
version is prefixed with <em>-mt</em>.
<p> <h3> Distributing Plugins
</h3>
<a name="2-1"></a><p> You must include any plugin files required by the application.
<p> Plugins must be put into a subdirectory under a directory known to
TQt as a plugin directory. The subdirectory must have the name of the
plugin category (e.g. <tt>styles</tt>, <tt>sqldrivers</tt>, <tt>designer</tt>, etc.). 
<p> TQt searches in the following directories for plugin categories:
<p> <ul>
<li> Application specific plugin paths
<li> Build-directory of TQt
<li> The application directory
</ul>
<p> Application specific plugin paths can be added using 
<a href="ntqapplication.html#addLibraryPath">TQApplication::addLibraryPath</a>(). The build-directory of TQt is hardcoded
in the TQt library and can be changed as a part of the installation
process (see the <a href="distributor-example.html">distributor-example.html</a> Distributor example).
<p> <h2> Dynamic Dialogs 
</h2>
<a name="3"></a><p> For dynamic dialogs if you use <a href="tqwidgetfactory.html">TQWidgetFactory</a>, you need the following
files for all platforms:
<p> <ul>
<li> The same files as used for dynamic TQt applications
<li> The TQUI Library
</ul>
<p> The TQUI library is provided by the following platform specific files:
<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Platform <th valign="top">File
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">Windows  <td valign="top"><tt>tqui.lib</tt>
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Unix/Linux  <td valign="top"><tt>libtqui.so</tt>
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">Mac <td valign="top"><tt>libtqui.dylib</tt>
</table></center>
<p> The TQUI library must either be in the same directory as the
application executable or in a directory which is included in the
system library path.
