where can i find a list of default install locations for all the various qt5 AND QML library binaries/headers

mrjj

Hi
You mean like
C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\include
and
C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib

pgiovanni

yes, but i'm using linux so those paths aren't relevant. i've used commands like find . -name QQmlApplicationEngine in the terminal to search my filesystem for the libs. Ive found two of them in the /usr directory. The rest just don't exist anywhere in the /usr directory. I want to know how to install each specific lib so I can build this app. I know I have qt5 and qml installed via sudo apt-get install -y qml-module-qtquick-controls2 and sudo apt-get install qt5-default.

mrjj

Hi
Ok so that would been worth mentioning. :)

What does

dpkg -L qt5-default

gives ?

pgiovanni

that command out puts:

paul@pauls-computer:~$ dpkg -L qt5-default

/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/qt5-default
/usr/share/doc/qt5-default/copyright
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/default.conf
/usr/share/doc/qt5-default/changelog.Debian.gz

@pgiovanni
Ok. so that is its install paths.
So the files should be there.

pgiovanni

cool, so what about the missing libraries? how can i find those? i've searched all of /usr's subdirectories for them.

here is a link to the qt docs for one of the libs i'm missing:

pgiovanni

ah, i found some of the libs within my /home subdirectories for some reason.

edit: the extra q libs were apart of the kde api i installed. Searching for dependencies can be a bother!

mrjj

@pgiovanni
Hi
Yes, it seems quite some excises you are into.

hmm /home i would not have guessed at :)

Searching for dependencies can be a bother!
Yes it can. also when you dont have an exe to go from but must find all needed libs manually.

What open source project are you building if i may ask ?

pgiovanni

kdeconnect application. I just wanna make it so you can click on the notification popups lol. my real goal is to build up my resume to eventually get a job. i'm out of work due to an injury right now.

mrjj

@pgiovanni

Oh that seems like a nice app.

So you are following this
https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Linux_Desktop

and sounds like you soon have it working.

Hehe quit some effort to have a an extra click handler :)

my real goal is to build up my resume to eventually get a job.

Oh, well training is the best way. and altering a complete project is a good way. IMHO.

Im sorry about your injury and hope you are all right now.

You are in Italy?

pgiovanni

@mrjj no im not am italy. Im in rhe USA.
