The problem is that your application isn't looking in the right place
for the platform plugins. That's where the qt5conf part comes in handy--
it includes a launcher script to set that environment for you.
You need to use the launcher from the qt5conf part in order to launch
the app.
apps:
ipe:
command: bin/ipe
Needs to be:
apps:
ipe:
command: qt5-launch bin/ipe
And so on.
