Literally loved this video, ESPECIALLY the troubleshooting part in the beginning - really shows how to try and handle reality. Though if someone was just looking for a quick solution, try 6:55

You can skip to 8:21 if you just want to see how this works

HI friend.
Which path should I put in the command export = I chose the path of folder that qt generates when you run the application in release mode but when I entered qmake, I got this error the Comman "qmake" is available in /usr/bin qmake, the command could not be located beacuse usr/bin is not include in the path environment variable

I have a Debian clone Linux and I have done a portable graphical application which was done on Qtcreator 4.12.3 + Qt5.11 (everything as you said). The portable app works on Debian computers but it doesn't on Ubuntu (v21.10). Do you have something to suggest?

Half of the video is to make a dummy app run

Hi, how did you located the qmake?
/temp/.mount...

Эта программа не работает с новыми версиями glibc. Чувствую, пора самому такую же писать в том же QT.

I have tried but getting this Error:
linuxdeployqt 6 (commit d41e234), build 724 built on 2020-07-31 15:51:47 UTC
ERROR: The host system is too new.
Please run on a system with a glibc version no newer than what comes with the oldest
currently still-supported mainstream distribution (xenial), which is glibc 2.23.
This is so that the resulting bundle will work on most still-supported Linux distributions.

I created a new app just as instructed, but "Deployment" is missing from the pulldown menu under Projects (where the Sources and Resources folders are). Am I missing something?

[vineelar]

I created the same way, what that "App Run" file does will I be able to run that binary file with other linux version/system???

[acerlmt]

Awesome, thank you!
Why TrollTech not doing this vid as official how to deploy? -__-

I got a message that says "Cannot run compiler 'clang++'. Output:" how do i fix this ?

[thiagom]

4:34 is the best part!!!! Why??? Funny video.

[AndyTurfer]

Excellent video. I'm glad you didn't cut out the issues you encountered in the beginning, because it shows folks how to deal with such issues.
I tried using linuxdeployqt on Kubuntu 19.04 (beta), but it doesn't work :( It gives me the following output:

ERROR: The host system is too new.
Please run on a system with a glibc version no newer than what comes with the oldest
currently still-supported mainstream distribution (xenial), which is glibc 2.23.
