[pyqtdeploy] Failing at building the demo

[Umberto Minora]

Thank you KC! :)

Actually, a friend of mine told me he had to install something to make 
it run.

So I tried to download the executable from a linux machine different 
from the one I used for the deployment, and found out I still have to 
solve one issue.

You can find it here: 
https://github.com/umbe1987/memory/releases/tag/v0.1.0 (it's the file 
called "memory" with no extension).

The error I receive when trying to launch the game from the terminal is:

```

./memory: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Multimedia.so.5: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

```

So, I think I might have made a mistake somewhere in the deployment 
process, because what I wanted in the end was a single executable file 
where all the needed libraries are bundled. Is this possible? If not, 
how should I ship the final product so that the users will be able to 
get and have it working without installing anything else?

If I need to attach anything please let me know, I have already attached 
my sysroot.toml and the ptd in the previous message.

Thank you and hopefully I will be able to close this thread once and for 
all anytime soon :)

Umberto
