qt_prfxpath is wrong if not system/locally built qt is used

[Aksem]

I try to use appimagetool for creating AppImage with Qt app by running following command: appimagetool -s deploy ../install/usr/share/applications/*.desktop. For the build of the app, I use pre-compiled Qt installed using aqtinstall.

I've checked qt_prfxpath in libQtCore5.so in the same way as go-appimage detects it, and it is a path from the system where Qt was built, and it doesn't correspond to the path in the system where the app is built.

As result, creating AppImage fails:

2022/08/08 10:43:42 qt_prfxpath: /home/qt/work/install
2022/08/08 10:43:42 Got qt_prfxpath but it does not contain 'plugins'
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x30 pc=0xafff4a]

Update: after hardcoding of qt prefix in source code & rebuild of appimagetool, deployment of successful.

At which path is your Qt installation's plugins directory?

[Aksem]

/opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins

[probonopd]

Where is this build of Qt coming from? Was it originally compiled at /home/qt/work/install maybe?

[Aksem]

Qt build is pre-built on another machine and downloaded via aqtinstall (it's a tool that downloads Qt binaries from Qt website and prepares them for usage: extracts etc.). Yes, it was compiled originally at /home/qt/work/install; this I meant in the first comment.

[probonopd]

OK, so the qt_prfxpath compiled into your Qt does not match the location at which your Qt actually is located.

Which means that we cannot trust qt_prfxpath and find out where Qt lives in some other way. Only question: How...? Maybe using qmake on the $PATH?

[Aksem]

Currently, I use linuxdeployqt and pass path to qmake as parameter; this approach works well also with both locally built Qt and Qt build downloaded with aqtinstall. It is possible to add qmake to $PATH, it would be important to prepend it and not append it to avoid conflict with other Qt versions, e.g., system one.

[Murmele]

I am running into the same issue: Murmele/Gittyup#579

[probonopd]

We need to find a reliable way of knowing the path in which Qt' s plugins directory is.

Currently we just read qt_prfxpath compiled into your Qtcompiled into Qt. But it can be overridden by aqt.conffile. So we may also need to read theqt.conf` on the system and check whether it sets a different Qt path.

@Murmele, @Aksem can you confirm that qt.conf files exist on your system? At which location and what do they contain?

Places to chek:

• Location of the $QT_CONF_PATH environment variable (if present)
• Next to the executable
• $HOME/.config/ or $HOME/.local/share/
• /usr/local/share/ or /etc/xdg or /usr/local/etc
• ...

[probonopd]

Here is a small Go program that tries to find the relevant qt.conf file:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"path/filepath"
)

func getPossibleQtConfPaths(appPath string) []string {
	paths := []string{
		filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(appPath), "qt.conf"), // Next to the application
		":/qt.conf",                                     // Application resource directory
		"/etc/xdg/qt.conf",                              // System-wide configuration directory
		"/usr/local/etc/qt.conf",
		filepath.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".config", "qt.conf"),          // User's home directory
		filepath.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".local", "share", "qt.conf"), // User's home directory
		os.Getenv("QT_CONF_PATH"),                                       // Environment variable
	}

	return paths
}

func findQtConfFile(appPath string) string {
	paths := getPossibleQtConfPaths(appPath)

	for _, path := range paths {
		info, err := os.Stat(path)
		if err == nil && !info.IsDir() {
			return path
		}
	}

	return "" // Empty string if no qt.conf file found
}

func main() {
	if len(os.Args) < 2 {
		fmt.Println("Please provide the path to the application as an argument.")
		return
	}

	appPath := os.Args[1]

	qtConfPath := findQtConfFile(appPath)
	if qtConfPath != "" {
		fmt.Println("Found qt.conf file at:", qtConfPath)
	} else {
		fmt.Println("No qt.conf file found.")
	}
}

Paste it into qtpath.go and then go run qtpath.go ./Gittyup.AppDir/usr/bin/gittyup on a "fresh" AppDir on which linuxdeployqt has not run yet.

[probonopd]

Here is an updated version that tries to read the path to Qt from the found qt.conf file - does it give you the correct path on your system?

package main

		filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(appPath), "qt.conf"), // Next to the application
		":/qt.conf",                                     // Application resource directory
		filepath.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".config", "qt.conf"),          // User's home directory
		filepath.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".local", "share", "qt.conf"), // User's home directory
		"/etc/xdg/qt.conf",                              // System-wide configuration directory
		"/usr/local/etc/qt.conf",
	}

	return paths
}

func getQtPathFromConfFile(qtConfPath string) string {
	content, err := ioutil.ReadFile(qtConfPath)
	if err != nil {
		return ""
	}

	// Extract the Qt path from the qt.conf file
	lines := strings.Split(string(content), "\n")
	for _, line := range lines {
		trimmedLine := strings.TrimSpace(line)
		if strings.HasPrefix(trimmedLine, "Prefix") {
			parts := strings.SplitN(trimmedLine, "=", 2)

				value := strings.TrimSpace(parts[1])

				if strings.TrimPrefix(key, "Prefix") == "" {
					return value
				}
			}
		}
	}

	return ""
}

func resolvePath(appPath, qtPath string) (string, error) {
	if filepath.IsAbs(qtPath) {
		return qtPath, nil
	}

	absPath, err := filepath.Abs(filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(appPath), qtPath))
	if err != nil {

	}

	appPath := os.Args[1]

	qtPath, err := findQtPath(appPath)

Further updated:

/*

The program is designed to find the Qt prefix path and Qt plugins path based on the given application path.

1. The program takes the application path as an argument.

2. The `GetQtPrefix` function is called to find the Qt prefix path:
   - It retrieves a list of possible `qt.conf` file paths.
   - It reads each `qt.conf` file and extracts the Qt prefix path.
   - If a Qt prefix path is found, it is returned.
   - If no Qt prefix path is found, an empty string is returned.

3. The `GetQtPluginsPath` function is called to find the Qt plugins path:
   - It calls the `GetQtPrefix` function to get the Qt prefix path.
   - If a Qt prefix path exists:
     - It retrieves a list of possible `qt.conf` file paths.
     - It reads each `qt.conf` file and extracts the Qt plugins path.
     - If a Qt plugins path is found, it is returned.
     - If no Qt plugins path is found, the custom plugins path is appended to the Qt prefix path.
   - If no Qt prefix path exists, an error is returned.

4. The `resolvePath` function is used to handle path resolution:
   - If the path is an absolute path, it is returned as is.
   - If the path is a relative path and a Qt prefix exists, it is appended to the Qt prefix.
   - If the path is a relative path and no Qt prefix exists, it is appended to the directory of the application.

5. Finally, in the `main` function:
   - The application path is retrieved from the command-line arguments.
   - The `GetQtPrefix` function is called to get the Qt prefix path.
   - The `GetQtPluginsPath` function is called to get the Qt plugins path.
   - The Qt prefix path and Qt plugins path are printed.

Note: If no Qt prefix path is found or if an error occurs during the process, appropriate error messages are displayed.

Maybe this is overkill, and we should just run with QTDIR if it is set.
