Hello folks, I need to develop a small GUI in Windows program and i have interest on qt lernen. My question is easy. My compiled object code, will run in another pc, without qt libraries installed?

Thanks in advance, regards.

Short version: No.

Long version: On Windows, you'll generally ship the necessary (Qt-)libraries with your executable. You don't have to "install" them, your program just has to find them, typically by being in the same directory. Another option would be to link Qt statically, but that requires your program to be released under a LGPL-compatible license (or obtaining a quite expensive commercial Qt license) and can cause some technical issues. Either way, the resulting package will generally be quite large.

Anyway, I strongly recommend you read http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html for actual details.
