Tribulations of not Surfing the Mainstream

Mostly for the record, since I have a class I ought to be working on for my day-job this month.

So, for obvious reasons, after the switch to qt6 I can no longer build Seamly with qt5. The repository I use doesn’t have qt6 yet, & I’m having trouble figuring out the qt website. So I decided to see about using the AppImages until I could get that wrangled. The AppImage wouldn’t run, the pre-qt6 AppImage wouldn’t run. I tried opening it from the Terminal & got this error:

/tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/AppRun.wrapped: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/usr/bin/../lib/libFLAC.so.8)
/tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/AppRun.wrapped: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/usr/bin/../lib/liblzma.so.5)
/tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/AppRun.wrapped: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_SeamlyKIehbK/usr/bin/../lib/liblzma.so.5)

As well as a lot of similar ones. In short I do not have any LIBC above GLIBC_2.31, so it won’t run. Which seems a bit odd, since I was able to build, install, & run up through the 07.28 edition (I haven’t bothered with the 08.04, & the newer ones are qt6.)

So, I guess I’m wondering why the AppImage requires a newer build environment to run than is required to build Seamly?

Anyway, I guess I’ll get back to trying to figure out how to install qt6, so I can build Seamly again.

Either that, or do all my testing latest releases on my Chromebook, which for some reason still runs AppImages fine.

PM me if you need help guiding you through installing Qt6 and setting it up. There’s a alot of stuff you don’t need to install from the Qt maintainer. However if you want to build with the MSVC kit you also need to install Visual Studio to get the Qt tools. Since using Qt6 I haven’t built with GCC, but I don’t see it as an issue. When using the MSVC kit there’s also a bunch of environmenal variables that need to be set… which I had to search all over the place to find what to add as it was rather obscure info. I added a disccusion awhile back that outlines the addiitons that need to be made. It’s for Qt 6.2.4, and we’re now using 6.5.3 so you just need to replace references to 6.2.4 with 6.5.3.

I’m glad I did that wayback when as I’ve had to refer back to it when we actually migrated to Qt6.5.3.
