[Interest] Deploying 5.4.0 Application to Linux

[William Hallatt]

Hi Mike,

I am not familiar with Mint, but I am very familiar with that error
message.  I wrote up a post on how I resolved it for Ubuntu 12.04 and a
previous Qt 5 release quite some time ago, but it might assist you somewhat
in figuring out where to go next:

Hope that helps!

Regards,
William.
