I think that an optimal solution (and a pretty fit for me) would be for the linuxdeployqt to just deploy all the necessary files next to the specified binary. It's up to a developer what to do next with all the files. Of course, linuxdeployqt can also support (optionally) any number of variou

Is there a Qt supported linuxdeployqt comparable to the windeployqt? I found the 3rd party version, but the command line args are very different. Also, is anyone on the Qt side, create a CMake function for this? Where inside CMake, you could call "DeployQt( )" and it would find all the depende
