QtWebEngine Linux deployment problem

I have a program on Qt using QtWebEngine, which I compiled on Ubuntu. I need to run this program on other computers with Ubuntu.
I tried to run my program on the VM and on a real computer. I got the same result. The program does not start, but the console displays the following:

Qt WebEngine ICU data not found at /home/username/Qt/Qt5.9.2/5.9.2/gcc_64/resources. Trying parent directory...

Aborted (core dumped)

To start the program, I run appname.sh .

appname.sh:

#! /bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ./appname

qt.conf:

[Paths]
Prefix=.

The location of the files in the "appname" folder:

appname
appname.sh
qt.conf

This folder also contains all the files and folders copied from the path /home/username/Qt/Qt5.9.2/5.9.2/gcc_64/ (I did this in order to understand that all the necessary files are exactly here).
/home/username/Qt/Qt5.9.2/5.9.2/gcc_64/ - this is the path by which I installed Qt in the system on which I compiled the program.

What's wrong, why are there so many errors? I have all the files here, so I'm confused.
Thanks!

Hi,

You should give a shot to linuxdeployqt. It simplifies deployment of Qt based application.

Unfortunately linuxdeployqt does not fix this issue, tried the latest, still got:

FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(182)] Check failed: ReceiveFixedMessage(fds[0], kZygoteBootMessage, sizeof(kZygoteBootMessage), &boot_pid).

I have the ICU data and libraries in the right location, e.g.
resources/icudtl.dat
resources/qtwebengine*.pak

translations/qtwebengine_locales/*.pak

Any ideas?
