+\title Deploying Qt Applications
+
+This document lists the platform-specific files needed to distribute
+Qt applications. We do not include any compiler-specific files that
+may also be required. (See also, \link winsystem.html Window
+System-specific Notes\endlink.)
+
+\tableofcontents
+
+Also see the "deployment" articles in
+\e{\link http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/ Qt Quarterly\endlink}:

+\endlist
+
+\section1 Static Qt Applications
+
+To distribute static Qt applications, you need the following file for
+all platforms:
+
+\list
+\i your application's executable
+\endlist
+
+\section1 Dynamic Qt Applications
+
+To distribute dynamic Qt applications, you will need the following
+files for all platforms:
+
+\list
+\i application executable
+\i the Qt library
+\endlist
+
+The Qt library must either be in the same directory as the application
+executable or in a directory which is included in the system library
+path.
+
+The library is provided by the following platform specific files:
+
+\table
+\header \i Platform \i File
+\row \i Windows \i \c qt[version].dll
+\row \i Unix/Linux \i \c libqt[version].so
+\row \i Mac \i \c libqt[version].dylib
+\endtable
+
+\e version includes the three version numbers.
+
+\section2 Distributing Plugins
+
+You must include any plugin files required by the application.
+
+Plugins must be put into a subdirectory under a directory known to
+Qt as a plugin directory. The subdirectory must have the name of the
+plugin category (e.g. \c styles, \c sqldrivers, \c designer, etc.).
+
+Qt searches in the following directories for plugin categories:
+
+\list
+\i Application specific plugin paths
+\i Build-directory of Qt
+\i The application directory
+\endlist
+
+Application specific plugin paths can be added using
+QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath(). The build-directory of Qt is hardcoded
+in the Qt library and can be changed as a part of the installation
+process.
+
+\section1 Dynamic Dialogs
+
+For dynamic dialogs if you use QWidgetFactory, you need the following
+files for all platforms:
+
+\list
+\i The same files as used for dynamic Qt applications
+\i The QUI Library
+\endlist
+
+The QUI library is provided by the following platform specific files:
+\table
+\header \i Platform \i File
+\row \i Windows \i\c qui.lib
+\row \i Unix/Linux \i\c libqui.so
+\row \i Mac \i \c libqui.dylib
+\endtable
+
+The QUI library must either be in the same directory as the
+application executable or in a directory which is included in the
+system library path.
