For what it's worth, getting the exact same results on RHEL 9.2. Everything standard except cmake; I'm running a locally-built cmake 3.26.3.

The 'QString:: split' function has been deprecated:
Line 435 version.split ("\ n", QString:: SkipEmptyParts) This function has been deprecated and replaced with version. split ("\ n", Qt:: SkipEmptyParts)
The 'QProcess:: start' function has been deprecated:
Line 1217 player ->start (stream, QProcess:: ReadOnly) This function has been deprecated and replaced with player ->start (stream, QStringList(), QProcess:: ReadOnly)

I too see those errors - on Mint 22, which is based upon Ubuntu 24.04. The project will not compile. It is a shame, because the RcloneBrowser is a cracking program.

Still, there is the appImage and Mint's (Ubuntu's) repositories contain rclone-browser 1.8.0. However: re the latter, apt wants to install, along with that - i.e. along with the program itself - an old version of rclone, whereas I follow the recommended way of using rclone, which is via a self-updating binary. The rclone-browser appImage works on my system, though it is not themed - but it does, itself, offer a dark mode, which does work. Also, I can't get AppImageLauncher via PPA; 'This PPA does not support [Ubuntu] noble'.
