Qt 5 linux deployment - using qt.conf for dynamic linking
-
Can you try to download and compile that?

I'm sure that works correctly with Qt 4.8.4 -
I did a build in Qt 4.8.2 (installed from the software manager in Linux Mint 14 32 bit) and everything works perfectly. I tried it with a shell wrapper also, and also a qt.conf and everything works. There's definitely a problem with dynamic linking with Qt 5.

I was missing libQt5DBus in my dependencies. It was not listed by the ldd command. I found that out on another forum. Dynamic linking in Qt 5 works for me now, both using your addition to the .pro file, and a wrapper shell script. But I can't get a qt.conf to work. I saw somewhere where it doesn't for Windows builds. Maybe not Linux either. It works for Qt 4.8.2. I'll check the bug reports to see if it is already reported. Qt 5 dynamic linking works.

I filed a bug report. Here's the answer I got:
Quote: "
qt.conf can not make the linker look for libraries in a different location, it's simply technically not possible. The "Libraries" entry (and all other entries) are only fixing up the paths that the QLibraryInfo API returns.
From the qt.conf documentation:
The qt.conf file overrides the hard-coded paths that are compiled into the Qt library. These paths are accessible using the QLibraryInfo class.If you want to make your application/libraries look for Qt at a different location, your only choice are the options that the linker offers you, i.e. on Linux basically LD_LIBRARY_PATH or rpath (e.g. with $ORIGIN to make it independent from absolute paths)." UnQuote. FYI.
