This Python3 script is like macdeployqt and windeployqt, but for Linux.
It scans the dependencies of a Qt6 application (shared libraries from Qt SDK, Qt plugins, QML modules, Qt resources and translations), and deploys all of them into the specified directory(ies). Then it updates RPATH of each deployed executable and shared library.
Unlike other implementations, this one combines support for Qt6, Qt WebEngine, and QML.
python3 ./linuxdeployqt6.py -help
usage: linuxdeployqt6.py [-h] [-f] [-n] [-v level] -qtdir path [-qmlscandir path]
[-out-dir path] [-out-exe-dir path] [-out-lib-dir path]
[-out-plugins-dir path] [-out-qml-dir path] [-out-data-dir path]
[-out-translations-dir path] [-no-conf] [-no-exe] [-no-lib]
[-no-plugins] [-no-qml] [-no-data] [-no-translations]
executable [executable ...]
Unofficial tool to make Linux Qt6 applications self-contained.
operation mode:
-h, -help Print help message and exit
-f, -force Force overwriting existing files
-n, -dry-run Print what is going to be deployed, but don't deploy anything
-v level, -verbose level
Verbosity level
qt options:
-qtdir path Qt installation directory (e.g. /opt/Qt/6.2.4/gcc_64)
input options:
executable Input executable
-qmlscandir path Input directory to scan for qml imports
output options:
-out-dir path Output directory (by default directory of first executable)
-out-exe-dir path Output directory for executable (by default same as -out-dir)
-out-lib-dir path Output directory for libraries (by default same as -out-dir)
-out-plugins-dir path
Output directory for plugins (by default same as -out-dir)
-out-qml-dir path Output directory for qml modules (by default same as -out-dir)
-out-data-dir path Output directory for data files (by default same as -out-dir)
-out-translations-dir path
Output directory for translations (by default 'translations'
inside -out-dir)
deployment options:
-no-conf Skip qt.conf deployment
-no-exe Skip executable deployment
-no-lib Skip libraries deployment
-no-plugins Skip plugins deployment
-no-qml Skip qml modules deployment
-no-data Skip data files deployment
-no-translations Skip translations deployment
This invocation will scan dependencies of <app_executable> and <app_qml_dir> and install them into <deployment_dir>, overwriting all existing files.
python3 ./linuxdeployqt6.py -force -qtdir /opt/Qt/6.2.4/gcc_64 -out-dir <deployment_dir> \
-qmlscandir <app_qml_dir> <app_executable>
