Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

I´m trying to install the messenger in a different location than the /opt one in Debian, but I´m having some issues:

If I run:

sh -c "/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/utopia --url %u"

Results in this error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, webgl, xcb.

Aborted

So, I set the debug variable with:

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

...and run again:

sh -c "/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/utopia --url %u"

..now I can see this output:

Got keys from plugin meta data ("xcb")
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/platforms" ...
Cannot load library /home/nipegun/crp/messenger/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/plugins/platforms/../../lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5:
undefined symbol:>QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so" :
"Cannot load library /home/nipegun/crp/messenger/plugins/platforms/libqx>qt.qpa.plugin:
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, webgl, xcb.

Aborted

From that I asume is messing with the location of the libqxcb library cause of "/../../".

So, if I now set the variable:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/nipegun/crp/messenger/lib"

The error is gone, but I mess with other configurations of my system.

How can I configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in that location?

I don't think he's into technology, but it is good to be curious when you do not know about something so as to more know about things around you.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

configure Qt to use a different location for a messenger application, you can create a qt.conf file in the same directory as the executable or in a location specified by the QT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. Here's a basic example:

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

By configuring qt.conf correctly, you can ensure that your messenger application runs using resources from the specified new location, improving flexibility and organization of your deployment.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Steps to Apply the Configuration
Locate the qt.conf file in the directory where your messenger application's executable resides, or create it if it does not exist.
Edit the qt.conf file using a text editor and add the desired configuration.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Setting the Prefix Path
You can change the prefix path, which is the root directory for the Qt libraries and other resources. This method redirects the application to look for all resources relative to a new base directory.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Replace /path/to/qt with the actual path to the Qt installation or the specific directories where the Qt components are located. You can adjust or add paths according to your needs.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Plugins: Relative path to the directory containing Qt plugins.
Libraries: Relative path to the directory containing Qt libraries.
Translations: Relative path to the directory containing translation files.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Create or Edit qt.conf File: This file should be placed in the same directory as your application executable or in the root of the application's directory. It uses the .ini format.
Define Paths in qt.conf: You can specify paths for the Plugins, Libraries, Translations, and other resources. Here's a sample qt.conf:

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

To configure qt.conf to make a Qt application work in a different location, you can adjust the configuration to specify paths for plugins, libraries, and other resources. This is useful if you want to move a Qt application to a different directory structure without modifying the application code itself.

Re: Configure qt.conf to make the messenger work in a different location

Specify QML Imports Path: For a messenger that uses QML, you can direct it to look for QML modules in a new directory: ini [Paths] ImportPath = /new/location/path/qml
By customizing your qt.conf file this way, you can effectively redirect the messenger application to locate its required resources in a different directory. Make sure the paths you specify are accessible and contain the necessary files.
