What happens instead when you open by double clicking? Maybe it's just already running? Can you run bitcoin-qt from the command line?

yes, everytime I want to run the QT wallet, I open the terminal and type ./bitcoin-qt to run it. It runs perfectly fine.

@Prayank That sounds unrelated to being able to start it by double clicking. Clearly the binary works, or OP wouldn't be able to start it from the command line.

I am not saying binary doesn't work. I am saying I want to open it with double click instead of going to terminal. Just like if I download Bitcoin-qt from Ubuntu app store, or from Github release page.

here's the exact error when I double click the Bitcoin-qt binary file:
There is no application installed for "shared library" files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?

@prayank That file is for Qt creator. It is not used for building binaries.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-06-02)

Bitcoin version : 0.21
System: Ubuntu 18.04

All dependencies installed.
I am using Depends system to compile QT wallet. I compiled all three (Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu) successfully. All run just fine.
Only with Ubuntu, the QT file doesn't open with double click like other programs. How do I compile it so it works just like other programs, and I don't have to open terminal every time I want to run the QT wallet.
