Qt6 with Ubuntu 20.04 #504

Closed conradhuebler closed 3 years ago

conradhuebler commented 3 years ago

Hey,

is there a chance to make linuxdeployqt compatible with a newer Ubuntu version? Qt6 does not work with 18.04 and therefore using GitHub Actions and Qt6, AppImages cannot be created.

Thanks and cheers, Conrad

linuxdeployqt will support this use case once the oldest still-supported release of Ubuntu can run Qt 6.

If you absolutely need to use Qt 6 before that, you need to use a tool that can bundle everything, such as go-appimage appimagetool -s deploy or https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder/.

In general, applications should be developed with the oldest still-supported systems in mind, not with the newest ones.
