Installation program crashes at startup

Francky033

Hello,

When recompiling my program, the installation file generated by the Qt Install Framework 3.0.6 crashes under Ubuntu 18.10

I get the error message:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to "/tmp/runtime-root
Violación de segmento (`core' generado)

I use Qt 5.12.0

How do we resolve this?

Before the Qt 5.12.0 update, the generation of the installation file was not a problem...

PS: using gdb, I get :

@Francky033 Did you a complete rebuild of your app after upgrading Qt? You should delete the build directory, run qmake and build.

Francky033

Yes, I usually delete the build directory before starting the final compilation.

Hi,

Do you see anything suspicious if you call ldd application_installer ?

Francky033

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the output of the ldd
