Hey @doggodanubus , are you using the official go release binaries? We had a similar issue to yours in the past that was resolved by just switching to the official release binaries rather than the distro provided package.

I removed the installed GO and used GO 1.22 You're using an old version of some libraries. I edited the files to change that to 73. Then I got a missing qml error. There are two errors below.

Similar or same issue to #346

If you've had issues compiling; this is what I've found.

Fix Go
Fix ICU versions
Fix unable to find QT library folders.

1) Eviscerate your distributions Go from your system. Install at least Go 1.22 as of this post. I installed it in opt as that will survive when local won't. YMMV

2) Manually change DeployLinux.cmake to the current ICU release not the ancient one.

I cannot figure out what is screwed up with QT. Nothing I did would work to get those folders to detect right. I don't think this is the bridge code but probably due to something local to my system. I hard coded the locations to the library folder and it compiles and works now. This may not apply to you unless you get an error about a missing qml or /usr/qml

3) Change the top line below in DeployLinux.cmake with the lower one with direct links.

-install(DIRECTORY "${QT_DIR}/qml" "${QT_DIR}/plugins" 
+install(DIRECTORY "/usr/lib64/qt6/qml" "/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins"

This has gotten it to compile and it's survived testing and seems to work ok.

[LBeernaertProton]

We are currently using the official binary releases of a given version of Qt to ship. Our build scripts are written to work against that.
