Update config_linux_rocky9.md based on a clean Rocky 9 install #521

Closed shidarin closed 2 months ago

Summarize your change.

With a clean(ish) install of Rocky Linux 9.4, I ran through the build instructions and updated where they fell short. It's clean(ish) because I had installed Maya 2024, MtoA, and the Deadline Cloud submitters.

Describe the reason for the change.

Following the original instructions still results in missing libraries and errors. I referenced additional information I found in #6 or discovered the proper solution to get past it, and updated the documentation.

Describe what you have tested and on which operating system.

Rocky Linux 9.4

Add a list of changes, and note any that might need special attention during the review.

Make sure to note the destination of the Qt install, as you will have to set the QT_HOME environment variable to this location's build dir.

This is actually an oversimplification, but I'm unsure if the problem is my fault. The online qt installer built Qt into /opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64 (the dir might not actually be gcc_64). Setting QT_HOME to /opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64 resolves the initial build errors, but encounters new ones where it seemingly ignores the set QT_HOME and tries to find the directories /opt/Qt/5.15.2/resources and /opt/Qt/5.15.2/translations. Renaming /opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64 to /opt/Qt/5.15.2 and setting QT_HOME to the same resolved the issue.

If possible, provide screenshots.

IN THE END IT BUILT!
