Any chance of a mirror link?

Just compiled my program with qt5, though it’s a nightmare for the dlls, i just cannot get it to run on another test machine with no qt, msvc etc installed…

i miss the mingw where i just put some dlls in the same folder of the exe (and knew which were needed) and all was good :D

Same problem here, I built Qt5 with MSVC2012 and cannot get the exe to run on any other machine, and worst part is I get no error, even Dependency walker doesn’t help.

Maybe this build can be hosted here on the QtProject website? Dropbox ain’t gonna work too good in this case…

When I manage to download a copy, I’ll set up a mirror.

In the meantime, this might help with general deployment on Windows: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/23286/

Yeah, but still no success, I bundled the following DLLs:
D3DCompiler_46.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
msvcp110.dll
msvcr110.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
qwindows.dll

No error, no nothing, the exe just doesn’t start…

Is qwindows.dll in a subfolder (“platforms”), relative to the executable?

Failing that… try dumping all the DLLs from C:\<Qt>\bin\ (and all the folders in C:\<Qt>\plugins\) into the directory and see if it works :P

(Hint: Instead of moving everything to the other PC to test, you can rename your Qt folder to temporarily hide Qt from your system, making it emulate a “Qt-less” machine)

Mirror is now available (see original post)

Checking it out. BTW I managed to get my deployment properly – turned out I wasn’t using the “right” VC runtime DLL, got like 20 dlls and like 5-6 different versions.

It works, however, there is a HUGEEEEE performance difference when compared to MSVC and even to x86 Qt4 build.

Qt5 MinGW x64:

Qt5 MSVC2012 ×64:

Qt4 MinGW x86:

I suspect there is something wrong with this build, it is not possible for MinGW to be almost 4 times slower than MSVC. And if anything, I expected this to be faster than 32bit Qt4 build, yet it is more than 2 times slower.

Wow, that’s… slow. Let’s just hope for official MinGW…

I try to rebuild my builds of Qt5 for mingw with some optimization after 8th january and upload them. You can test perfomance again.

I just finished my optimized SDK today. It’s a -O3 -mtune=native for 64 bit and -O3 -mtune=i686 for 32 bit :)

Good :)
But I now build with “-march=nocona -mtune=core2” for 64-bit and “-march=i686 -mtune=core2” for 32-bit. Next I try to build Qt5 with ANGLE.

Hi, I’ve done some optimization to my algorithm – now MinGW performance is much better, but still somewhat lower than MSVC. In fact with the improved algorithm the MinGW version is a little faster than the old MSVC version. I wonder what could have caused performance to be so low before, the version of MinGW you have bundled should support all the C++11 features that increase performance, C++11 support in MinGW is a little better than that of MSVC2012. Anyway, here are the new results:

Qt5 MSVC2012 ×64:

Qt5 MinGW x64:

Now the performance difference is only 0.3x – much better than 4x. So the build is not that slow, as long as you code efficiently. It is still a little slower than Qt4 MinGW x86 – which gets 30 MCPS performance.

can you provide more information about your testing system? I can’t agree with your results. I’m experiencing average 5% of speedup with MinGW x64 compared with MSVC 2012 :/

My PC: intel Dual Core 2.4 GHz @ 4GB RAM ~ Windows 7 64 bit

MinGW
Optimization flags: “-O3 -mtune=native”
Threading model: POSIX

MSVC
Optimization flags: “/Ox”

i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7 ×64
The MSVC build is 64bit, I haven’t really set any optimization flags, so everything should be by default
