Deployment

[Rabatscher Michael]

I use Kylix 3 and wanted to deploy a simple graphic application.
The problem that on the foreign system I always encounter an error
(AnsiString method not found or something like this) although I nearly
copied all libx*.so from the /usr/local/kylix3/bin directory, fixed the
symbol links and used a shell script wich points the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable to this directory.

Could it be that the qt lib is out of date on the foreign system?

How can I easyly check which lib is missing?

Kind regards

Short answer: you need to deploy the libborqt library:

-- because if anything the qt on the foreign system is insufficiently out
of date, and use something along the lines of Andreas Hausladen's
QBindings unit:

Although, come to notice it, TreePad Lite for Linux has somehow integrated
the runtime into the main executable, which I thought was
famously impossible.

I stand corrected: it's not the main executable, it's an InstallMade file.
The library's still separate.

Why I would care how it is done? I am an average mouse-clicker, click,
click, click, when I click on the exe it works. That’s all I want to
know! ;)) Seriously, AFAIC this nifty little installer does the job
beautifully. I love it! I have better things to do than struggle with
LD_LIBRARY and crap!
