Its nice to see that only starting to work with Valentina for Rev,
You already thinking about deployment step :-)

Short answer is:

    * you need Windows and V4REV_WIN install there to get
        windows DLLs.

We do this on few reasons. One of them is Valentina is not small to pack all
into single package. Second, e.g. Is that from Windows you in any case will
not be able produce MAC working app with V4REV.
