I'm trying to get my App to Harbour for easy distribution. The app depends on two Qt modules which are not yet whitelisted: libQt5SystemInfo and libQt5Positioning. I could ship them as private shared libraries, but they depend on more libraries which you can not link against either: libbluetooth, libudev, libfontconfig.

Libraries
=========

FAILED

I could package the dependencies as well, but some of those are under GPL: libbluetooth. IIRC GPL licenced libraries can not be shipped with closed source apps.

Is there anything I can do except wait for the modules to be whitelisted?
