Hi there,
So I am trying to build a linux installer for my QT application. I downloaded
the latest version of QT (5.4.1) and built QT statically using the
configuration described in the INSTALL file in the installer-framework
repository's root directory. The installer-framework also built just fine and
my application's installer built when I ran the binary creator tool. However,
when I deployed the installer to a clean Ubuntu 12.04 machine, I get the
following warning and the fonts in the installer appear as just boxes. Do you
know how I could fix this problem? Thanks!
[4] Warning: QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory
/home/eferguso/Qt/5.4/Src/qtbase/lib/fonts - is Qt installed correctly?
Below is a reference to the configuration settings I used to build QT
statically. I built QT and the installer framework on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine.
configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -release -static -accessibility -qt-zlib
-qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-xcb -qt-pcre -qt-freetype -no-glib -no-cups

WARNING: Using static linking will disable the use of dynamically
loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins,
or compile needed modules into the library.
Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should not run 'make install'.
Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.
