I thought the AMD was just a dealbreaker.

Nah, not if it’s specifically “amd64”.

I will try qt4 again I guess. Any recommendation on installing libqtwebkit4 then? since that specifically the one I could get to build linuxtrack.

So, I might be misunderstanding you, but I don’t think that you just want libqtwebkit4.

Qt4 is a widget set, a collections of controls and stuff. It shows drop-down menus, checkboxes, stuff like that. I believe that libqtwebkit is if you want to embed web pages in a program.

You probably want all (or a fair bit of) Qt4.

The problem here is that Qt4 is very old. I don’t even know if you have it in your current distro. Linux Mint is a child distro of Ubuntu, which is a child distro of Debian, and current Debian doesn’t have it.

What the LinuxTrack people should have done was updated it to a newer version of Qt, but it sounds like they don’t have much of anyone working on it.

What you have linked to is a PPA, a third-party repository, for Ubuntu 20.04. Some random user just tried compiling it for a version of Ubuntu. It might work on Linux Mint. It might not. It quite possibly won’t work on your version of Linux Mint. According to this:

https://linuxmint.com/download_all.php

Linux Mint Cinnamon is based on Ubuntu Noble, which is Ubuntu 24.04. So it’s intended to be used on an older version of Ubuntu than the version that your release of Linux Mint Cinnamon is for.

If you want to try using the PPA anyway, you probably want all of the Qt4 PPA, not just libqtwebkit.

Looking at the binaries in the release of LinuxTrack, they rely not just on Qt4’s libqtwebkit, but also other libraries:

$ ldd linuxtrack-0.99.18-64/linuxtrack-0.99.18/bin/*|grep Qt
        libQtWebKit.so.4 => not found
        libQtOpenGL.so.4 => not found
        libQtGui.so.4 => not found
        libQtNetwork.so.4 => not found
        libQtCore.so.4 => not found
        libQtWebKit.so.4 => not found
        libQtGui.so.4 => not found
        libQtCore.so.4 => not found
        libQtGui.so.4 => not found
        libQtCore.so.4 => not found
$

So you’d need other Qt4 libraries. It looks like the PPA itself has instructions for adding a PP:

https://launchpad.net/~rock-core/+archive/ubuntu/qt4/

Adding this PPA to your system

You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:rock-core/qt4 to your system’s Software Sources. (Read about installing)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rock-core/qt4 sudo apt update

Once you do that, you would install packages like normal using your package manager (sudo apt install qt4-x11 qtwebkit on the command line, or whatever graphical tool you use).

I’d be a little skeptical that it’d work, but you can give it a shot if you want. I’d keep an eye on what it installs, and if it doesn’t work, remove it with sudo apt remove qt4-x11 qtwebkit and then remove the “rock-core” PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d — the add-apt-repository script will probably add it to your list of package sources there.

This appears to be the issue asking the author to update it to a newer version of Qt, which he apparently hasn’t done:

That guy has someone saying that they managed to build it for Qt5 with a single-line change, so if, instead of trying to install that build of Qt4, you want to try compiling LinuxTrack against Qt5, that might also work. May involve jumping through some hoops, though…
