Hi Mike! I agree with Lisandro that for many people it will be enough to just run the examples, not (re-)compile them. So we should not add these dependencies, at most we can add some of these packages to Suggests. But see below: On Mon, Aug 05, 2019 at 06:53:52AM -0700, Mike Bird wrote: > A directory of files and several dependencies are missing from > qtbase5-examples.

Please file a bug on bugreports.qt.io or directly submit the patch to codereview.qt-project.org, explaining why this change is needed (you did not explain your problem here). > (2) Add the following miscellaneous dependencies: > qt5-default c++-compiler make qtbase5-private-dev libqt5opengl5-dev As Lisandro explained, nothing should really depend on qt5-default. In fact, Lintian even has a warning for this: https://wiki.debian.org/Lintian/Tags/depends-on-metapackage And I think people who really need to *compile* examples will have g++ and qmake/make installed. If they are missing it is quite easy to figure out how to install them. Speaking about qtbase5-dev package, it is less trivial to figure out. Maybe we should make qtbase5-examples suggest it. -- Dmitry Shachnev
