I'm building the installer locally right now.

Edit: I hosted the built installers on the https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication/releases/tag/v1.10.0-rc1 page

I have a docker container based on https://github.com/jmarrec/openstudio-cmake-tools/blob/main/Dockerfile_centos9

https://hub.docker.com/layers/jmarrec/openstudio-cmake-tools/almalinux9-v1.1.0/images/sha256-8a681b4fef65aa5fabed1600958ddb01e4adc65b8801c71ff21cc28ff7b39422

I had to install a couple of extra things

dnf install chrpath patchelf libxkbfile

And Qt of course

export QT_VERSION=6.5.2
export QT_ARCH=gcc_64
export QT_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/Qt/$QT_VERSION/$QT_ARCH
aqt install-qt --outputdir /opt/Qt linux desktop $QT_VERSION $QT_ARCH -m qtwebchannel qtwebengine qtwebview qt5compat qtpositioning qtcharts
export PATH=$QT_INSTALL_DIR:$PATH

Then business as usual

git clone https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication.git

cd OpenStudioApplication

conan install . --output-folder=../OSApp-build-release --build='missing' -c tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja -s compiler.cppstd=20 -s build_type=Release
cmake --preset conan-release -DQT_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=$QT_INSTALL_DIR -DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_PACKAGE:BOOL=ON -DCPACK_BINARY_RPM:BOOL=ON -DCPACK_BINARY_TGZ:BOOL=ON -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=OFF
cmake --build --preset conan-release --target package

I created a VirtualBox VM for Almalinux 9.6 desktop workstation, installed the RPM I built and ran the OSApp without issue.

I think the configuration for the icon/launcher isn't working, but that's ok, running from bash via /usr/local/openstudioapplication-1.10.0-rc1/bin/OpenStudioApp works fine.

@jmarrec just FYI, I was able to reproduce this build

[jmarrec]

Great 👍
