Hi.

I've a little more information later below, with the summary: The

/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18

installed is the wrong type of file by its content.

Turns out that the install in my test build does end
up with:

 # ls -lodT /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore*
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel -      1670 May 11 02:05:59 2025 /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.prl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel -        30 May 11 02:05:59 2025 /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so -> libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel -        30 May 11 02:05:59 2025 /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15 -> libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18

But ldd reports:

# ldd -a /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18 
ldd: /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18: not a FreeBSD ELF shared object

Looking . . .

# file /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore*
/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.prl:        ASCII text, with very long lines (770)

That last is not correct for FreeBSD. Using libc.so.7 as an example:

# file /lib/libc.so.7
/lib/libc.so.7: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, for FreeBSD 14.2, stripped

Note the "(FreeBSD)" and "for FreeBSD 14.2" vs.  the "(SYSV)"
and the lack of an indication of a FreeBSD version.

By content, the wrong kind of file was built. More files have
that problem:

Lack of FreeBSD:
# file /usr/local/lib/qt5/*.so* | grep -v -e FreeBSD -e "symbolic link to "
/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5Pdf.so.5.15.18:              ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=7fa8f7cb66ef21beab52258eeba682910073ad4c, stripped

Use of SYSV (with or without FreeBSD)
# file /usr/local/lib/qt5/*.so* | grep SYSV

/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngine.so.5.15.18:        ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, for FreeBSD 14.2, stripped
/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.18:    ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=9fbd42a76a98b569f691f96e85cb5dad1fc5ca81, stripped
/usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5WebEngineWidgets.so.5.15.18: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, for FreeBSD 14.2, stripped

(I am not sure of the status for the combination
"(SYSV)" with "for FreeBSD 14.2".)
