Thank you very much @kevle. |

Build for testing: |

Would be great if someone could test whether this build fixes the issue. Thank you very much! |

Not this case on Arch Linux.
I have /usr/lib/libQt6Core.so but directory on /usr/lib/qt6. And qt_prfxpath is really empty.

Note: Before applying this patch, it cannot work on Arch Linux either. So it is not a regression.

Thanks for testing it, I'll see if I can fix it.
This appears to be the place where the path is configured on Arch:

From the looks of it, there is no way around loading libQtCore{5,6}.so and querying its configuration using QLibraryInfo::location ( Qt5 ) and QLibraryInfo::path ( Qt6 ) to properly handle all cases. I have not been able to find a reliable way yet to extract this meta information ( e.g. from embedded resource files ) any other way. This would be pretty bad news for cross-compilation though, I'm not looking forward to doing qemu shenanigans just to query some paths... |
This PR resolves a problem that leads to corrupted Qt core library files, by detecting relocatable builds of Qt and only conditionally patching the shared library files.
