Package: qtcreator

Version: 4.8.2-1

Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm a newbie what comes to QT, so tried to install and use qtcreator.

Trying to build a simple "Hello World" -style program lead to error

message stating something like "Unknown module(s) in QT: qml quick".

At first, tried to install all the quick-dev-packages, then googled...

And installing qtdeclarative5-dev did the trick.

This library doesn't seem to be even suggested dependency, even though

needed to build the simplest qt program.

While qt creator is the preferred way to create qt-based programs it does not means it's exclusively for that. In fact I even use it to program micro controllers.

And the minimum necessary dependency to create qt-based applications is qt Core, part of qtbase5-dev.

So no, creator should not install any kind of qt development package, it's up to the user to install the required dependencies for his/her project.

I'm so closing this bug.

Cheers, Lisandro.
