linuxdeployqt
linuxdeployqt takes an application as input and makes it self-contained by copying in the Qt libraries and plugins that the application uses into an AppDir bundle. This can optionally be put into an AppImage. It is based on macdeployqt in the tools applications of the Qt Toolkit.
Known issues
- This is not fully working yet. This is not ready for production use. Help is appreciated.
- Some functions still refer to macOS specifics. These need to be converted over to their Linux counterparts or deleted.
Installation
- Open in Qt Creator and build
- Build and install patchelf (a small utility to modify the dynamic linker and RPATH of ELF executables; similar to
install_name_toolon macOS). To learn more about this, see http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/10/28/rpath-and-runpath/

Options:
-verbose=<0-3> : 0 = no output, 1 = error/warning (default), 2 = normal, 3 = debug
-no-plugins : Skip plugin deployment
-appimage : Create an AppImage
-no-strip : Don't run 'strip' on the binaries
-use-debug-libs : Deploy with debug versions of libraries and plugins (implies -no-strip)
-executable=<path> : Let the given executable use the deployed libraries too
-qmldir=<path> : Scan for QML imports in the given path
-always-overwrite : Copy files even if the target file exists
-libpath=<path> : Add the given path to the library search path
