    I'm installing qt on ubuntu 16.04 for a project (I can't upgrade the ubuntu versions, my colleagues said to install this version because it's the most compatible with the program that was made). I have been following some install instructions that are below:

    The QtCreator IDE should be installed in the home directory from: https://download.qt.io/ archive/qtcreator/4.1/4.1.0/. Next, follow these steps:
    
    • wget https://download.qt.io/archive/qtcreator/4.1/4.1.0/qt-creator-opensource-src-4.1.0.tar.gz
    
    • tar zvxf qt-creator-opensource-src-4.1.0.tar.gz
    
    • sudo apt-get install build-essential
    
    • sudo apt-get install qt5-default
    
    • cd qt-creator-opensource-src-4.1.0
    
    • cd src
    
    • qmake -r
    
    • make
    

    Everything worked until the "qmake -r" command that gives the following error:

    Reading /home/rita/qt-creator-opensource-src-4.1.0/src/shared/qbs/src/lib/corelib/corelib.pro
    Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script

    Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you

          @Ritz98 Like any other Ubuntu package?

          sudo apt-get install qtscript5-dev
          

          I'm not sure the package name in Ubuntu 16.04 is really qtscript5-dev, if not search for such a package in Ubuntu repo.

            Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but do you know what package I have to install to solve this?
            "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: help"?

                I've been doing research before coming here but I can't find any package that says help, not even on the ubuntu repo.
