Ubuntu 24.04: CMake couldn't find Qt6LinguistTools

Grit Clef

Hello,
I'm writing a multi-platform application which uses CMake as its build system and Qt Linguist as the i18n tool. I have already tested it on Windows and there were no errors. But when I run CMake on Linux, I get the following errors:

-- Could NOT find Qt6LinguistTools (missing: Qt6LinguistTools_DIR)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:18 (find_package):                                                                                                    Found package configuration file:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake                                                                                           
  but it set Qt6_FOUND to FALSE so package "Qt6" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  Failed to find required Qt component "LinguistTools".
                                                                                                                                                    Expected Config file at
  "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6LinguistTools/Qt6LinguistToolsConfig.cmake"
  does NOT exist



  Configuring with --debug-find-pkg=Qt6LinguistTools might reveal details why
  the package was not found.

  Configuring with -DQT_DEBUG_FIND_PACKAGE=ON will print the values of some
  of the path variables that find_package uses to try and find the package.                                                                       


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have installed qt6 using:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential qt6-base-dev linguist-qt6

Why is it that CMake still couldn't find LinguistTools?
Thanks.

Because you did not install the development packages for linugist

Oh, yes, I've forgotten that.
