Need to add libxcb-xinerama0 as a dependency of the package, on fresh Ubuntu install the following error occurs:
$ /opt/swift-navigation-console/console
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

Worked well for me on Ubuntu 20.04! (but I guess I probably already have all the dependencies installed). Very cool that it's available through the "activities" app launcher. The desktop icon worked well too, after I followed all these instructions: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-desktop-shortcut/ . Didn't realise it was so difficult to make a desktop icon show up in GNOME.. |

FWIW I think we can fix the problem with the missing libxcb-xinerama0 package by just adding as a dependency of our package with --depends (see docs here https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli-reference.html) e.g.
| fpm -t deb -s dir -v $(cat console_backend/src/version.txt) --debug --verbose -C $TMP_DIR -f -n $APP_DIR_NAME $OPT_DIR $USR_DIR | |
| fpm --depends libxcb-xinerama0 -t deb -s dir -v $(cat console_backend/src/version.txt) --debug --verbose -C $TMP_DIR -f -n $APP_DIR_NAME $OPT_DIR $USR_DIR |
This will cause the package to get installed as a dependency of our package.

Works perfectly. I was trying to statically link but this seems much more reasonable.

./target/installerwhich is later wrapped into the .deb./opt/swift-navigation-console/console, not sure if we should keep it in /opt but this is what FBS was doing./usr/share/applications/usr/share/icons/hicolor/<respective sizes>The final installer is moved into
./installers/Linux/to match the Windows installer final location.
