Wayland compositor examples won't compile

[Andrzejduda]

Hi :)
I installed Qt opensource from the webpage. How do I check if I have libraries? I work on the newest Kubuntu

[Eddy]

There is an installation page for Ubuntu, which should work also for kubuntu.

@Eddy But I have Qt installed. Only examples containing qt wayland don't work. QtWayland is the main reason why I need Qt ;(

[SGaist]

How did you install Qt ?

Did you check that you have the QtWayland module there ?

[Andrzejduda]

I have downloaded an open source installer from https://info.qt.io/download-qt-for-application-development
I don't even know how to check if I have QtWayland there.

[SGaist]

Take a look at the content of the lib folder in your Qt installation.

[Andrzejduda]

I don't have that library.

[SGaist]

Which version of Qt is it ?

[Andrzejduda]

it is 5.9

[SGaist]

What exact OS are you on ?

[Andrzejduda]

Kubuntu 17.04 64-bit.

Just in case someone else lands here when trying to build Wayland examples, I had the same problem and @SGaist helped me over on this thread to find a workaround. Basically I just had to build the qtwayland module from source and install it.
