Description of bug

The installation page states that for Ubuntu/Debian, MultiMC requires the following packages to be installed:

  • libqt5core5a
  • libqt5network5
  • libqt5gui5

However, MultiMC will also refuse to start if libqt5xml5 is not installed:

user@LAPTOP:~/Documents/games/MultiMC$ ./MultiMC
Launcher Dir: /home/user/Documents/games/MultiMC
No missing dependencies found.
/home/user/Documents/games/MultiMC/MultiMC: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Xml.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing it, MultiMC works.

This dependency should be added to the installation page, in the "Download & Install" category.

Steps to reproduce

  • Go to https://multimc.org/
  • Scroll down to "Download & Install"
  • Notice that libqt5xml5 is not listed in the Debian/Ubuntu dependencies

Running dpkg -I on the .deb shows dependencies on libqt5xml5. So installing with sudo dpkg -i multimc_1.6-1.deb and running sudo apt -f install should resolve the missing dependencies.

In Fedora 36, I had to install qt5-qtbase and qt5-qtbase-devel for it to work.

Otherwise I was getting: No such file: libqt5xml5 and libQt5Widgets.so.5
