        IIRC you can install qt5-default then the same qt5 packages with a trailing -dev in the name

          Description: Qt 5 development defaults package
          Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature is its rich set of widgets
          that provide standard GUI functionality.

          This package sets Qt 5 to be the default Qt version to be used when using development binaries like
          qmake. It provides a default configuration for qtchooser, but does not prevent alternative Qt
          installations from being used.

                Since you installed Qt 5.2 Why didn't you use the qmake from that Qt rather than the one from the system ?

                  Well , I want to build mysql plugin for Qt 5.2 !
                  I get error message : QMySQL driver not found loaded.

                  I try test with a minimal code :

                  Main :

                  @
                  #include <QCoreApplication>
                  #include <QtSql/QSqlDatabase>
                  #include <QtSql>
                  #include <QDebug>

                  //remplacer l'affichage par la commande cout
                  #define q2c(string) string.toStdString()

                  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
                  {
                  QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

                  QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
                     db.setHostName("localhost");
                     db.setDatabaseName("qtdatabase");
                     db.setUserName("root");
                     db.setPassword("");
                     bool ok = db.open();
                  
                  return a.exec&#40;&#41;;
                  

                  }

                  @

                  and .pro :

                    Then use /opt/Qt5.2.0/path_to_bin/qmake to configure the plugin project

                        rather that calling just qmake like you already did in the plugin folder, use the full path to /opt/Qt5.2.0/whatever_is_needed/bin/qmake and you should be good

                          I have this path /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/bin/(qmake)

                          root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro

                          Project ERROR: addExclusiveBuilds() requires at least two arguments

                          I think my path is not true :( In Qt 4 i can build but in Qt 5.2 anything is different.

                              Sorry but gives follow message :

                              root@Gigabyte-Z68P-DS3:/opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql” “LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r” mysql.pro
                              ***Unknown option -lmysqlclient_r”
                              Usage: /opt/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files]

                              QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
                              some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
                              shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
                              mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

                              Mode:
                              -project Put qmake into project file generation mode
                              In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                              be built,
                              defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
                              Note: The created .pro file probably will
                              need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                              specify what modules are required.

                              file in your current working directory

                                        libmysqlclient_r.so.16 is the MySQL client library. What you should test is the Qt driver plugin. But based on available driver list, you don't have the MySQL plugin.
