Libicu, needed by Qt5Core, compilation issues. Please help!! Worked fine in 18.04, but not 16.04.

[zeethree50]

Hello QT friends. Thank you taking the time to read this.

I had been working on this project in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and had been working with multiple libraries utilizing Protobuf, GRPC, GNU Radio, ArcGIS SDK, among a few other things.

Down the road I find out we have to STIG the machine, some government security process, which in the end, made us downgrade to 16.04 LTS to fulfill all the requirements needed.

This caused a lot of issues for us in many ways, but nothing that wasn't fixable. Currently, I have been trying to figure out this next problem before seeking out for help. I've only been programming for a few years, so I am sorry if this turns out to be a single mistake.

When I look at the folder, I can see the files are there but I don't know what I can do fix this issue. This works no problem in 18.04. It was working in Redhat 7 before finding out, it wasn't optimal for 16.04

What could be causing issues for me using 16.04 LTS. I've tried google searching the libs needed by QTCore and I'd tried setting LD paths and other types of linking issues, although I could be doing it wrong, but I am stuck and looking for guidance.

Thank you for reading. Have a good day.

Hi,

What version of ICU do you have on your system ?

[zeethree50]

@SGaist

uconv v2.1 ICU 55.1

[SGaist]

Si here is your issue: it's below the version expected by the prebuilt version of Qt you are using.

[zeethree50]

@SGaist I understand.

Although I have libicu56 in the file directory, my machine uses 55. I'm assuming it needs to be 56, or is this not the case?

Cheers,

[SGaist]

One thing you can test: use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the folder where libicu 56 is located before starting your application.

[zeethree50]

Yes. Thank you SGaist.

In Kits, I was able to select my current kit and under Enviroment put: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.15.1/gcc_64/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

And it worked for me. Cheers mate.

@zeethree50 said in Libicu, needed by Qt5Core, compilation issues. Please help!! Worked fine in 18.04, but not 16.04.:

And it worked for me

Great, so please don't forget to mark your post as solved!
