Fresh install Linux Mint Vs. 19 or 20

[pa2eon]

For installing the qradiolink software on Linux Mint and the Pluto SDR hardware, you need a few standard software parts to be installed. For example the package libprotobuf23, but for Linux Mint their is no package.
Is their anyone who can tell what kind of primary packages you have to install to use the software on top of Linux Mint ( version 19 and 20 )
Other packages also missing: libcodec2-0.9 libjpeg62-turbo-dev libjpeg62-turbo

Their is also an error .. what is explained in: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimage-obsolete.html
At compiling: ../src/video/imagecapture.cpp:142:30: error: ‘class QImage’ has no member named ‘sizeInBytes’

Isn't Linux Mint based on Ubuntu? This is the relevant protobuf package in Ubuntu 20.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libprotobuf17
And libcodec2 is: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libcodec2-0.9
These packages usually track Debian testing but are behind it one or two versions.

Also, it seems you are using a Qt version older than 5.10 (the reason for the Qt error). This is the relevant definition in the QImage headers used by qradiolink:

#if QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE(5, 10)
   QT_DEPRECATED_X("Use sizeInBytes") int byteCount() const;
#endif
   qsizetype sizeInBytes() const;

Do not use the packages from Ubuntu 20.04 .. it will messed up all the system of Linux Mint.
Two machines I long time used where crashed ( software only .. =;) .. )

Sorry Eric, I'm not familiar with Mint, but perhaps they have a forum or a mailing list for support with this kind of issues. I can only list Debian packages since I know for sure what they are called.
