How to build QT binary with bundled libraries?

2

Sorry, I dont have a computer to test, but here are a few thougts:

  • if the libraries are picked at runtime using dlopen, autopatchelf can’t see them so you might need to use runtimeDependencies, and disable the optimisations on rpath, dontPatchELF = true;. See also How to set `runtimeDependencies` for shared libraries? - #5 by tobiasBora
  • if the binary really expects lib to be in a subfolder, you can copy the whole program to $out/opt and add a wrapper (maybe a link would work as well) in $out/bin that calls stuff in $out/opt
