Qt 6.5 seems to be incomplete on Ubuntu 22.04 image
Hi, I am trying to swith https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah ci builds from Qt 5.15 to Qt 6, for macOS it is working as expected using Qt 6.5.3 on macOS 12.7, but I am having problems when using Ubuntu 22.04 since preinstalled Qt seems to be incomplete:
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.5.3 in /home/appveyor/Qt/6.5.3/gcc_64/lib
...
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: serialport multimedia multimediawidgets webenginecore webenginewidgets webchannel positioning webenginequick bluetooth
Any idea about how to fix this?
Ale.

The same happens when using Qt 6.7.2:

Hi, I tested again after last update https://www.appveyor.com/updates/2025/08/12/ and the problem is still there and Qt 6.8.3 / Qt 5.9.1 are missing, the symbolic links for 6.8 and 6.9 seems to be Ok but the real directories seems to be missing:
Cheers, Ale.

Looking into that. In the meantime can you try
Previous Ubuntu2204and see if it is the same result.4 Posted by Alejandro Marti... on 15 Aug, 2025 02:06 PM
Hi Owen, using Previous Ubuntut2204 with Qt6.5.3 the problem is the same as

Hi Owen, I confirmed Qt5.15 is working as expected on updated Ubuntu2204
image, the problem is confined to Qt6:
- Qt6.5 is incomplete as it is in Previous Ubuntu2204
- Qt6.8.3 and Qt6.9.1 are missing, my intention is to use 6.8.3
Cheers, Ale.

I can confirm that there was a problem with Qt 6.8.3 and 6.9.1 installation on the new images which we will work on addressing as soon as possible.
The missing addons on the previous image for 6.5.3 was expected however as we usually only included the full component set for the latest version. Qt 6.7.2 on the previous image should have a more complete addon set if you want to try that in the meantime.

Thank you, Owen, the same modules are missing from Qt 6.7.2 too, but no
problem, I will wait for Qt 6.8.3
Cheers, Ale.

We've redeployed Ubuntu images with a fix for the missing Qt directories and components. Give it a try.

Hi Owen, after adding:
export QTDIR=$HOME/Qt/6.8
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
I got:
qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.8.3 in /home/appveyor/Qt/6.8.3/lib
which is fine, regrettably there are missing modules we need to build
GoldenCheetah:
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginecore webenginewidgets
webenginequick core5compat
Cheers, Ale.

It looks like from 6.8 on it has been removed from the main Qt directory and added to extensions src.
I don't know much about Qt development, but presumably you can just add some scripting to the
init:phase of your build to grab it here and place it somewhere in yourLD_LIBRARY_PATH.Support Staff 11 Posted by Owen McDonnell on 09 Sep, 2025 08:56 PM
Sorry for not updating sooner, but those QT extension modules are now present on the current Ubuntu image.

Hi Owen, I get the same error as above using both Qt6.8 and 6.9, no
lib/libQt6WebEngine* or lib/libQt6Core5Compat* under Qt6.8 or Qt6.9 trees.
This is what I see in my local install after selecting WebEngine from
extensions and Qt5Compat from libraries using the online installer:
~/Qt/6.8.3/gcc_64/lib$ ls *WebEngine*
libQt6WebEngineCore.prl libQt6WebEngineQuick.so.6
libQt6WebEngineWidgets.prl
libQt6WebEngineCore.so libQt6WebEngineQuick.so.6.8.3
libQt6WebEngineWidgets.so
libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6 libQt6WebEngineQuickDelegatesQml.prl
libQt6WebEngineWidgets.so.6
libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6.8.3 libQt6WebEngineQuickDelegatesQml.so
libQt6WebEngineWidgets.so.6.8.3
libQt6WebEngineQuick.prl libQt6WebEngineQuickDelegatesQml.so.6
libQt6WebEngineQuick.so libQt6WebEngineQuickDelegatesQml.so.6.8.3
~/Qt/6.8.3/gcc_64/lib$ ls *Compat*
libQt6Core5Compat.prl libQt6Core5Compat.so libQt6Core5Compat.so.6
libQt6Core5Compat.so.6.8.3
I could not find these in the latest image for 6.8 or 6.9, are there in
other places?

Great, thanks for letting us know.
Ubuntu2004image will also be updated soon.18 Posted by Ale Martinez on 22 Sep, 2025 02:23 PM
Hi, this weekend I was able to complete a full build of GoldenCheetah using Qt 6.8.3 on Ubuntu2204 image, it took a while because the building process is slower than when using Qt 5.15.2 and sometimes the job is cancelled due to time limit, but it is working as expected, so thank you very much.
Cheers, Ale.
