Flatpack was already mentioned as one example. We use AppImage instead. linuxdeployqt did not include everything as expected. Hence, we use both linuxdeploy and linuxdeployqt. Here is the main part of our script: #!/bin/bash export VERSION=1.0.0 echo == Remove old AppDir. == rm -rf AppDir echo == Generate new AppDir. == ./linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage --appdir=AppDir --executable=../release/MyApp --desktop-file=MyApp.desktop --icon-file=MyApp.svg echo == Bundle Qt libs and create AppImage. == cd AppDir ../linuxdeployqt-v8-x86_64.AppImage MyApp.desktop -qmake=/opt/Qt/5.13.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake -appimage echo == Finish up... == mv MyApp-*-x86_64.AppImage ../MyApp-x86_64.AppImage echo == Done. == This works well across many Linux distributions. One disadvantage is that an AppImage includes all necessary Qt libraries instead of using those installed on the system. Therefore AppImages can become quite large. But they avoid most incompatibilities of different versions of dynamic libraries.
