Sharedlib instead of executable file on ubuntu

FED27

Hi to everyone,
i've finished my qt project and i want to create an executable file.
I'm using Qt 5.9.1 (qt creator 4.3.1).

If a Run the project it produces me a sharedlib as main file, so i can run it calling from a terminal and it works but i can't click on the app icon in order to run it.

is it my mistake?

Thank you

Hi,

What do you mean by "it produces a shared lib as main file" ?

FED27

When i build the project the only runnable file in the main folder is a application/x-sharedlib with the name of the project.

Hi, also check that you have Shadow builds enabled in Qt Creator.

Looks like your double clicking on the executable and trying to run it. Are you getting the 'library not found' error ? if that is the case, Qt libraries may not be in the path. Please check the path and fix it

Qn : Are you able to run your application from Qt Creator ?

FED27

i've the "library not foung error" but if i run the app by terminal it works. Why?
How i can fix the path?

Yes i'm able to run my application from Qt Creator.

@FED27 If you want your app to be runnable outside of QtCreator (or on other machines) you need to deploy it first.
See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-deployment.html

i' m trying this way but when i launch the command qmake -config release it gives me
Project MESSAGE: Warning: unknown QT: charts

Hi,

As silly as it may sound, did you install all of Qt components ?

FED27

@SGaist solved but after i've launche the make and every is compiled i try to click on the app and the error is always "library not found"

SGaist

Are you using a project template ?

FED27

SOLVED i used QMAKE_LFLAGS += -no-pie in the .pro file and it produced me an executable file instead of a library
