i run the app from terminal as you suggested with set(QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS 1) flag in my project CMakeList.txt , but it show the same output in terminal like in Qt Creator output window:qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""Is it correct way to set the debug info on plugins like i did: set(QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS 1)?

I never suggested that! Please read again what I wrote...

Ok, i hope that i correctly understand you, i added this line to Run settings environment in Qt Creator: QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1After i run the project again and i've got the additional string of information in my project output window in Qt Creator:
qt.core.plugin.factoryloader: ignoring "org.qt-project.Qt.QPA.QPlatformIntegrationFactoryInterface.5.3" since plugins are disabled in static buildsWhat does it mean?
By the way my environment is:
- Qt Creator 13
- Qt 6.7.0 (static build)
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

@al072072 Just realized that the plug-ins were not found. My suggestion was for cases where plug-ins are found but fail to load, so useless for your problem.
The error messages in your first post clearly say that these plug-ins where not found. Check whether they were built (configure script says what is enabled and what not).
Also, do you really need a static Qt build?
This is not enough:
sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0 sudo apt install qt6-waylandyou also need the dev packages.

I am sure this plugins (xcb,wayland) were not built becase i checked the plugins platfroms folder and there is no plugins files inside of it. I am not sure about the static build (just want to set it up like in my windows project) and run it as a static (there is no problems with dynamic build). Thank you for information i will try to find a dev libs and install them. What should i do after installing the dev libs? It seems like i need to rebuild the Qt library, is it possible to force disabling the plugins use during the build configuration process? I already tried -skip xcb and -skip wayland, but it didn't help still got the errors when Run the app. -

Well, for graphical Qt applications you need at least one backend. On Linux usually xcb or wayland. So, first decide what you need and then disable what you do not need.
"but it didn't help still got the errors when Run the app" - of course, how should your app run without any backend? -
@jsulm
i also tried to make a configuration without skipping both of (xcb and wayland) - the same result. I've checked the dev packages for :sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0-dev sudo apt install qt6-wayland-devpackages are installed.
Now i reconfigure the build with the following configuration string:
./configure -release -static -static-runtime -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -prefix /home/Qt/6.7.0/static_gcc_64Here is configuration output:

WARNING: Feature static_runtime is insignificant in this configuration, ignoring related command line option(s). WARNING: No backend for low level audio found. WARNING: QDoc will not be compiled, probably because clang's C and C++ libraries could not be located. This means that you cannot build the Qt documentation. You may need to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the location of your llvm installation. Other than clang's libraries, you may need to install another package, such as clang itself, to provide the ClangConfig.cmake file needed to detect your libraries. Once this file is in place, the configure script may be able to detect your system-installed libraries without further environment variables. On macOS, you can use Homebrew's llvm package. You will also need to set the FEATURE_clang CMake variable to ON to re-evaluate this check. WARNING: Clang-based lupdate parser will not be available. LLVM and Clang C++ libraries have not been found. You will need to set the FEATURE_clangcpp CMake variable to ON to re-evaluate this check. WARNING: QtWebEngine won't be built.

Just run 'cmake --build . --parallel' Once everything is built, you must run 'cmake --install .' Qt will be installed into '/home/Qt/6.7.0/static_gcc_64' To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script: /home/Qt/6.7.0/static_gcc_64/bin/qt-configure-module If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/alex/Qt/6.7.0/SrcCould you please take a look on it and advice me to do any additional steps for configuration that i will be able to run the static version of app after build? thank you
