[Interest] windeployqt on executable with a shared library in the project

[Axel Spoerl]

Hi Scott,

windeployqt has a —libdir option.
As a last resort (e.g. if libraries are in multiple locations), custom shared libraries can also be added manually to the output directory.
That coud be done in a custom script, in addition to or wrapping windeployqt.

Cheers
Axel

My project has an executable as well as a shared library.

Windeployqt fails to find the shared library, because its looking in the QT directory.

I don’t see any option on windeployqt to give it other paths to search or to exclude a dependency.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Scott
