Why ldd not shows libqxcb.so is required

column

Hello,

Trying to move simple widget based GUI application to system that not contains QT.

I have copied files with executable:

libicudata.so.54
libicui18n.so.54
libicuuc.so.54
libQt5Core.so.5
libQt5Gui.so.5
libQt5Widgets.so.5

Got error while application run:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

According to information in forum I need library libqxcb.so. But why ldd command not shows I require it?
Where libqxcb.so should be placed?

Hi,

It's explained in the Linux deployment guide.

As an alternative you should consider using the linuxdeployqt project.

But why ldd command not shows I require it?

Because libqxcb.so is a plugin that is loaded after your executable starts running.

ldd only shows libraries that are loaded before your executable starts running.

Where libqxcb.so should be placed?
