windeployqt.exe on Linux Distributions

In windows you can run windeployqt.exe to approximate the library, qml, and plugin dependencies of a Qt application.

In Linux I can use ldd to determine library dependencies, but I have not found a way to establish which additional Qml files need to be present as well as which plugins I should include in my installer. Any suggestions?

There is the linuxdeployqt project on github, which can be helpful.

From looking at linuxdeployqt code it seems:

  • finding the list of plugins is done by parsing the linked libraries
  • qml files are parsed with qmlimportscanner. Here's the comment from code:

    Scan qml files in qmldirs for import statements, deploy used imports from Qml2ImportsPath to ./qml
