Hi!

I can see where Adrien Matthieu is coming from. Installation on linux is not yet as straightforward as other platforms (Windows, Mac and Android).

I want to install the program in my home directory so that is not a problem but getting Jqt.sh to run required installing libqt5webenginewidgets5, libqt5multimediawidgets5 and libqt5websockets5 on Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS).

I believe the relevant code would be:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libqt5webenginewidgets5 libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5websockets5

but I preferred to use Synaptic, so this will need checking! Would it be worth adding this or something similar to the updatejqt.sh script?

I considered modifying the install-usr.sh script by replacing /usr with /home/mark but when using a local folder, it was not clear how the items copied into the /etc folder would be used so I decided against it, without further advice/research.

Could this script be adapted so that one can specify the prefix of the install location?

One final matter, when running jqt.sh, the following warning was reported:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

Since this is warning, it's not an issue and no-doubt X users would want the old code but would it be worth making the relevant call sensitive to its environment?

Many thanks

Mark
