I am running a Qt application developed in C++ on Linux which is using the libexec QtWebEngineProcess.
On my computer, everything is fine. However, when deploying the app on another computer, everything goes wrong.
I had to use a shell script to link the dynamic libs and libexec, so the app can be executed :

#!/bin/sh
appname=`basename $0 .sh`

dirname=`dirname $0`
tmp="${dirname#?}"

if [ "${dirname%$tmp}" != "/" ]; then
dirname=$PWD/$dirname
fi

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname/"libs"
QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH=$dirname/"exec"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH

$dirname/$appname "$@"

So far, so good!
But when the code using the Qt web engine is processed, I get this SIGABRT signal with the execution stack displayed above.

I have been searching for days how to solve the issue, in vain.
The linux distribution is ubuntu 16.04 LTS on both computers (development and test) and the Qt version is 5.10.0.
This is the guilty code :

...
QWebEngineView *webView = new QWebEngineView();
...

As you can see, it's just a constructor...

I have tested linuxdeployqt to obtain a standalone app and of course, it doesn't work at all :

...
ERROR: Please ensure that all libraries can be found by ldd. Aborting.

Which is surprising as I used the ldd command to select the libraries to copy.
The version is the following : linuxdeployqt 4 (commit 5542062), build 559 built on 2018-06-18 17:51:07 UTC

Any idea? At least a lead or anything to work on...
I don't know whether my deployment process is incorrect, or the Qt web engine process is buggy, or maybe anything else!

Many thanks for your answer.

@bachir
Just checking: IIRC, to use QWebEngine under Linux requires a distinct apt-get (I install everything from apt). Has that been done correctly on the machine where you have the problem?

bachir

@JonB thanks for your answer

On the dev machine, I installed everything with the Qt maintenance tool and the app is running without crashing;
On the test machine, I have copied every required lib, including libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.10.0 and libQt5WebEngineWidgets.so.5.10.0, along with QtWebEngineProcess.

So what did you mean exactly by installing using apt-get? Should I do that on the dev machine or the test machine?

JonB

@bachir
I use apt-get. You do not. And you use linuxdeployqt. That's fair enough. You seem to have done a bit for Qt5 WebEngine at least. You now need someone else to look at your issue.

bachir

@JonB Thanks!
By the way, I tried to use linuxdeployqt but it didn't work so I deployed the app manually.
Anyone can tell me why copy and paste QtWebEngineProc make it not working anymore?!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you follow the dedicated QtWebEngine deployment procedure ?

bachir

@SGaist
Hi and thanks
Yes, I have followed thoroughly the procedure.
My folder contains these elements :

myexe
qt.conf
run.sh
Qt

The Qt folder has all the required dependencies with the exact same naming than Qt :

lib
libexec
plugins
resources
translations

The qt.conf file just override the prefix and run.sh is a script that run myexe with the correct environment values (LD_LIBRARY_PATH & QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH)

I am pretty sure to have all required dependencies. Besides if I copy all the content of /home/bachir/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64 in my local Qt folder, nothing change. So the problem is elsewhere.

I don't understand why moving QtWebEngineProcess make it crash while it has all dependencies?

kkoehne

Does the app work if you start it with --single-process added to the command line?
