Can't find libQt5Core lib


  • Hello! I have a little trouble with app deployment.
    I have installed Qt5 to /usr/local/qt5 (and it is not added to ldconfig).

    but I've got exception:

    What I'm doing wrong? Any ideas?

    Could it be that you are mixing cross-compiled and desktop libs?
    Or is this on an embedded device?

  • @koahnig this in on embedded device.
    Qt libs and Qt App was cross-compiled with arm-linux-gnueabihf
    I removed all qt files from /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ on embedded device and now I've got:

    error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    I tried to place Qt libraries to the current work directory, I tried to create launcher (like described here http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/deployment-x11.html). All without success, libQt5Core can't be found

    Also on I published on the github my script which do a cross-compilation of qtbase.

    Hi,

    Unless you modified the rpath of your application, putting your application dependencies in the same folder won't have any effect. You can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to give additional paths to the loader to search in when starting your application.

  • @SGaist thanks for answer. Yes, I did set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to needed value.
    So, I recompiled my application, did copy of needed libs to embedded device and setted LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
    Now I have another exception:

    /ta512/./ta: error while loading shared libraries: /home/imx6/Desktop/qt5120/sysroot/usr/lib/libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    This is path on my host-machine, but not in the current embedded device.
    The path to libz in my embedded device is /ta512/lib/libz.so and it already defined in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
    Why application remembered a full path to libz from my host-machine and doesn't looks in LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
    (directly my application doen't uses libz, which requires by glib, which requires by Qt)

    You should run ldd (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined) on your application and its dependencies to see where it's currently looking for them.

    You are not deploying libQt5Core.so.5 along the other Qt libraries in your ta512 folder.

    0 2 Replies

  • @SGaist no, I'm deploying only 3 Qt libs in folder /ta512

    0

  • @SGaist ok, I built Qt 5.9.7 with options:

        -verbose                        \
    -nomake tests                   \
    -nomake examples                \
    -no-use-gold-linker             \
    -no-opengl                      \
    -no-dbus                        \
    -no-glib                        \
    -no-icu                         \
    -rpath

    and the target Qt application on the embedded device did found the Qt libs, but I've got another exception:

    ./qt_c: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /ta/libQt5Core.so.5)

    sure, version of glib on the target device is 2.23, but Qt was configured without GLIB support. Why Qt still require this library?

    well, as latest results with same cross-compilations process (e.g. same tools, compiler, QtCreator settings, etc):

    • cross-compiled app with Qt 5.12.0 can't find self Qt libraries
    • cross-compiled app with Qt 5.9.7 can find self Qt libraries, but can't work without GLIB < v2.28 (even configured without glib support)

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    And why are you not deploying the Qt5Core library since you already deploy the others ?

    0 1 Reply

  • @SGaist as I told before I did copy Qt libs with application to the target embedded device (as you can see the folder /ta512 already contains all needed Qt libs and executable application), also I did set value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /ta512 before application has been started.

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    That's clear, but from your last test, why only these three libs and not QtCore ?

    0 1 Reply

  • @SGaist sorry, maybe I don't understand you question right. Does libQt5Core.so.5 (which was already deployed with application to the target device) is not "Qt5Core library"?

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    The question is: since you are deploying 3 Qt libraries already, why not the Qt5Core ?

    0 1 Reply

  • @SGaist Sorry, but what do you mean under "Qt5Core"? "libQt5Core.so" is a "Qt5Core", isn't it?

  • Lifetime Qt Champion

    Yes it is.

    0 1 Reply

  • @SGaist because the target application is looking for the libQt5Core.so.5, not for libQt5Core.so

    howewer I'll try to do copy of all aliases: libQt5Core.so, libQt5Core.so.5 and libQt5Core.so.5.12.0

    thanks for hint!
    and happy New Year ;)

    If you want to be sure the loader finds the correct library where you put them, then yes, copy all the aliases up to the library itself.

  • @SGaist I did copy for each needed alias, but nothing changes:

    # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ta_20190102115904/qt5lib
# ls $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
libQt5Core.so         libQt5Gui.so         libQt5Widgets.so

    Ok, I did remove system version:

    # mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5.orig
# mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5.5 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5.5.orig
# mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5.5.1 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so.5.5.1.orig
# ./qt_c
./qt_c: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    (there is no alias /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libQt5Core.so)
    All binaries have a right arch, I think:

    # file qt5lib/libQt5Core.so

    cross compiled Qt application don't want to use cross-compiled Qt libraries.
    I don't understand what's wrong :(

    I'll try to use a previous version of the toolchain
