Is there a way to exclude libraries
I have a custom Qt installation that contains the debug version of Qt libraries, I didn't find any way to exclude them.
linuxdeploy has an exclude-library option but qt plugin hasn't this option.
Do you have any way to do that?
Not yet. We'd need to provide an environment variable that supplements the CLI option, and implement it both here and in linuxdeploy. PRs highly welcome!
Suggested workaround is to call linuxdeploy twice, and remove the offending files once the qt plugin has performed its pass, and then exclude-libraries in the main linuxdeploy app on the second pass.
This approach can also be used to add application-specific data files into usr/share.
S.
# Create build-dir tree (don't create app image)
linuxdeploy --desktop-file APP.desktop --icon-file APP.png --appdir build-dir --executable APP --plugin qt
# Remove unwanted libnss files
/bin/rm -f build-dir/usr/lib/libnss*
# Copy application-specific data files from src/share to build-dir/usr/share/APP
mkdir -p build-dir/usr/share/APP
cp -R "src/share/*" "build-dir/usr/share/APP"
# Now create the output image
linuxdeploy --appdir build-dir --exclude-library "*libnss*" --output APP
