If Avidemux is not building on Ubuntu 24.04.1
QT6 not found
installing these could help
-- qtcreator
-- qt6-base-dev
sudo apt upgradesudo apt install qtcreator qt6-base-dev
So even if Qt6 has been installed and Avidemux is still not building:
1. Select Qt6 system-wide
-------------------------
Generate qt6.conf based on the path to qmake6
qtchooser -install qt6 $(which qmake6)Move qt6.conf to system-wide dir
sudo mv ~/.config/qtchooser/qt6.conf /usr/share/qtchooser/qt6.confRef:Ubuntu 22.04 with Qt6 - qmake: could not find a Qt installation (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1460242/ubuntu-22-04-with-qt6-qmake-could-not-find-a-qt-installation-of)
ps: Best wishes and good health to all for 2025

After succesfull build, and /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt6 is not opening correctly.
Close the running avidemux window.
Find the old config3 in ~/.config/avidemux6 and delete this existing config3 file.
Start the /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt6 in cli terminal and avidemux should now run correctly.
Welcome back! Could you please remove all Qt5 and Qt6 development packages and test updated createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash script?
I'll try test with removing these packages:
qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools
qt6-base-dev qt6-base-dev-tools qt6-tools-dev-tools
If I cleanout completly, to much of depending programs are uninstalled
