Question

When building qtdeclarative, I get the following artifacts:

I am however looking for libQt5Declarative.so. Is there a build flag I can set somewhere to build this artifact?

It seems there are RPMs out there that contain this file so surely there must be a way to build it: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libQt5Declarative.so.5

Answer 1

According to the documentation, Qt Declarative has been renamed to Qt Quick 1, since Qt 5. So, you have to link with libQtQuick.so, instead.

But, it has been removed in Qt 5.6. You should port your app.
