Hello. I am developing Qt software on Debian Linux and I need to create an executable file on another machine.

[Simao]

I am developing software with QtCreator on a Debian 10 machine in c ++ and OpenCV. I need to create an executable file to run on another machine. I have tried to use linuxdeployqt (https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt) however, since the beginning of the year it is not allowed to be used for GLIBC versions above 2.20, with my machine version being 2.28.
I would like to know the best way to do what you want.

Hi,

Do you mean the error message relate to the -unsupported-allow-new-glibc flag ?

Please use meaningful titles. That field is not to start writing your question down.

@SGaist Yes, when trying to use linuxdeployqt I received an error message "The host system is too new.". I don't necessarily need to do it any other way, so I'm willing to listen to suggestions

Hi
I tried a chroot and other tricks with glibc but to no avail.
I ended up using

ldd file | grep "=> /" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs -I '{}' cp -v '{}' /destination

to copy some of them and then manually copy the rest.

But i can see if you use OpenCV manually copy is tiresome.

ps. WOW something Debian is actually to new/updated for :)

Did you try the option I suggested ?

[Simao]

@SGaist What option?

[mrjj]

@Simao
The one he mentions ?

[Simao]

@mrjj Yes.

[SGaist]

What version of linuxdeployqt are you using ?

Because the option (-unsupported-allow-new-glibc) you gave should pass in the other branch of the if with just a warning.

[Simao]

@SGaist I'm sorry, I was doing it wrong.
Using the option (-Unsupported-allow-new-glibc), some errors appear as shown in the following image.

Why do you have android stuff showing up ?
