This is the error returned when I run cmake -B build -G Ninja:

    When installing from source you need to install the build dependencies. In this case it’s looking for the Qt5 or 6 development package.

        Indeed this is the fun part when compiling software. You need to find each of the packages that provide these. Depending on the distro, some provide an easy way to do this. What are you using?

        Again, build dependencies. Please read the error message, it tells you exactly what you’re missing.

        Note that installing from source like that is not recommended, it’s better to use your distributions package manager.

        • @UsernameOPEnglish

          It is not in the package manger. I am also very confused because it lists a ton of packages that I already have installed.

            You’re missing the build headers of those dependencies. Depending on the distribution it’s often called something like <packagename>-dev or <packagename>-devel. And what distribution is this that doesn’t have Haruna?
