LAS/LAZ support on linux

[lefsky]

I've installed CC on windows and ubuntu. Windows install shows numerous file formats available when opening a file, but the linux version only shows 13, and they don't include las or laz. I've seen various plugins discussed as a solution for this problem, but they either have been discontinued (pdalio) or I haven't been able to find them among the plugin list on this website or anywhere else.

Is there a canonical solution to this problem? Did I make a mistake in my installation?

Have you tried with the latest 2.13.2 version?

It should integrate the new LAS I/O plugin normally.

I installed using flatpak but didn't get the 2.13.2 release. I'm trying compiling it from scratch now but am getting multiple "QT_DEPRECATED_VERSION_X" errors. Can these be ignored?

I'm running qt5 on ubuntu 22.04

Probably. And if you'll have to explicitly check the 'PLUGIN_IO_QLAS' option in CMake to compile the right plugin.
