If you build chatterino, the result directories will contain a `chatterino.exe` file in the `$OUTPUTDIR\release\` directory. This `.exe` file will not directly run on any given target system, because it will be lacking various Qt runtimes.
To produce a standalone package, you need to generate all required files using the tool `windeployqt`. This tool can be found in the `bin` directory of your Qt installation, e.g. at `C:\Qt\5.15.0\msvc2019_64\bin\windeployqt.exe`.
To produce a standalone package, you need to generate all required files using the tool `windeployqt`. This tool can be found in the `bin` directory of your Qt installation, e.g. at `C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin\windeployqt.exe`.
To produce all supplement files for a standalone build, follow these steps (adjust paths as required):
1. Navigate to your build output directory with windows explorer, e.g. `C:\Users\example\src\build-chatterino-Desktop_Qt_5_15_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release`
1. Navigate to your build output directory with windows explorer, e.g. `C:\Users\example\src\build-chatterino-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release`
2. Enter the `release` directory
3. Delete all files except the `chatterino.exe` file. You should be left with a directory only containing `chatterino.exe`.
4. Open a `cmd` window and execute:
cd C:\Users\example\src\build-chatterino-Desktop_Qt_5_15_0_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release
C:\Qt\5.15.0\msvc2019_64\bin\windeployqt.exe chatterino.exe
cd C:\Users\example\src\build-chatterino-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release\release
C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin\windeployqt.exe chatterino.exe
5. Go to `C:\local\bin\` and copy these dll's into your `release folder`.
