It probably mostly depends on what type of wall construction you have.
Wooden frame, simplest with wood. Laminated wood is rarely needed for standing studs, but it needs to be calculated to assess the risk of buckling. Wedge in and screw the H-beam at the support points (struts). You place the beam on top of the struts, but you probably already know that.
Stone or concrete, practical with steel especially if you can weld the beam and support into a frame. Naturally, it can be fastened with bolts, but you need to choose profiles that provide steel surfaces lying against each other to be able to fasten through bolts.

One side is wood against the outer wall, the other side is chimney (brick).
One idea has been to build a wall with lekablock against the chimney to place the beam on, to then plaster it flush with the chimney.
If you use square tubing, do you then weld "ears" to attach against the wall and a foot that is bolted to the floor??

Just set up an HEA140 with a free span of 3900mm. Very satisfied. On one side, I utilized part of the chimney and cast a reinforced concrete bearing, and on the other side, used supports made of laminated construction timber, 2 pieces (45x145). You probably need to make a building notification to your municipality with construction drawings to get the job done. I personally got help with the construction.
Wrote the wrong freehanging at 3700mm
It's difficult to answer how to best design fastenings without knowing how it looks on site. In principle, it's about achieving mounting surfaces and bolt connections that can handle the load in your construction. So, let someone calculate it if you don't have the knowledge yourself. Construction notification with the municipality usually requires at least a basic sketch of how the solution is designed, as Tommy wrote.
