How to build with Qt

Ah! I found it (well, one “it” anyway): I was missing libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev package.

This afternoon I built Seamly2D on another Debian 10 machine, and took advantage of that to figure out which Qt5 packages are really needed, since my previous installation was more of an “I don’t know so let me try every Qt5 package until it works” thing. Here are the minimum Qt5 packages on a Debian 10 machine, in order for qmake to do it’s job without complaints:

qtbase5-dev, qttools5-dev, libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev, libqt5svg5-dev.

after qmake finished, I ran ‘make’ and ‘sudo make install’ and the programs are installed and working.
