strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

Demo
QT Creator is used to create project files and edit source code.
qtcreator
Follow this guide to create a simple project.
Create Project...
Application (Qt)
Qt Console Application
Name: QApp
Build system: qmake
Language: <none>
Kit Selection: Desktop
main.cpp
This is clearly not a good example of a Qt application, but this code is just a demo.
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <iostream>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QCoreApplication App(argc, argv);
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Qt make is used to create a working Makefile which is used to build the application.
qmake make ./QApp Hello World!
To build with Qt6, use qmake6 instead of qmake above.
