We've long used the -qt-xcb configure option to build Qt XCB support without supplying the boatload of pesky dependencies, but contrary to what the Qt 5.15 "Requirements" page says, it no longer appears to be supported, now instead being a boolean argument according to the configure error message I get when I try to specify it, and confirmed by looking in qtbase/src/gui/configure.json . Were the Qt-supplied XCB libraries removed from the Qt sources (and the documentation is just out of date), or is the option still supported except for a bug in the configure scripts?

Best ask this on Qt interest mailing list , that's where Qt devs hang out.
