Subject: Qt installer framework problems linux

Hi there,

So I am trying to build a linux installer for my QT application. I downloaded the latest version of QT (5.4.1) and built QT statically using the configuration described in the INSTALL file in the installer-framework repository's root directory. The installer-framework also built just fine and my application's installer built when I ran the binary creator tool. However, when I deployed the installer to a clean Ubuntu 12.04 machine, I get the following warning and the fonts in the installer appear as just boxes. Do you know how I could fix this problem? Thanks!

[4] Warning: QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory /home/eferguso/Qt/5.4/Src/qtbase/lib/fonts - is Qt installed correctly?

Below is a reference to the configuration settings I used to build QT statically. I built QT and the installer framework on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine.

WARNING: Using static linking will disable the use of dynamically
loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins,
or compile needed modules into the library.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should not run 'make install'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.
