installing qt svg

English Programming/Scripting
1

I was using Qt 5.6 and the version of Creator that came with it
installed from the .run file provided by the Qt website.
Everything worked fine…

Now I’m trying to build some lxqt stuff and I’ve been told to delete all that…

So I downloaded Creator from https://software.opensuse.org/package/libqt5-creator
But when I try to build something I get:
Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

I found
https://software.opensuse.org/package/libqt5-qtsvg
but there is no 1-click button…

and ‘zypper in libqt5-qtsvg’ says
No provider of ‘libqt5-qtsvg’ found.

The issue that prompted this:

I just found https://software.opensuse.org/package/libQt5Svg5
and installed… but it didn’t change anything.

For building things you need to install the corresponding devel packages.
In this case, libqt5-qtsvg-devel.

That works. Thanks! :cool:

How can I find a list of these qt5 devel packages?

Well, a list of all Qt5 devel packages in the configured repos could be obtained with e.g.:

zypper se libqt5*devel

(add ‘-s’ for more details like the version)

OTOH, the naming scheme is consistent anyway.
The devel package for libQt5Xxx5 is normally named libQt5Xxx5-devel.

In some cases, like for libQt5Svg5, the devel package is named after the base package though (here libqt5-qtsvg-devel), maybe because libQt5Svg5 is the only library in libqt5-qtsvg anyway.

PS: You can find the name of the base (source) package via something like this:

$ rpm -qi libQt5Svg5
