qbs build failed with Dependency "Qt.core-private" not found for product.

[PR_stark]

I have added the core-private as a Dependency as submodule in .qbs file.

 Depends {
        name: "Qt"; submodules: ["core-private"]
    }

when I am working on developing the docker image with QT installed with debian as base image, I tried to install QT with apt version 5.

and also, I tried to install from sourcefiles wget https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/6.0/6.0.0/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.xz using gmake.

but I am still unable to build the project. Can you suggest any probable solutions or versions that support core-private submodule in QT.core.

I checked the folders inside the docker where QT is installed. I did not find core-private module.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Talking about the distribution packages, you have to explicitly install these packages.

@SGaist Thanks for welcoming and quick response. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the source or packages associated with core-private for any QT version.

Could you kindly direct me to the appropriate resource or guide me on how to install this package or any other private packages such ascore-private,gui-private and qml-private?

[SGaist]

@PR_stark I was referring to your Linux distribution packages. Install them using apt.

There's no dedicated source package as the private parts of Qt are already part of the sources.

I am not sure I follow what you are attempting to do, but mention of the private-dev packages perked my ears.

In a "Debian/Ubuntu"-esque environment, there are multiple *-private-dev packages, some of which are required for compiling additional libraries like QtMqtt.

apt search "private-dev"

for a long list for both Qt5 and Qt6. This may be the one you are looking for.
