Clarity on dependencies

[iiztp]

Hi,

I am a Debian user (sadly) and it seems difficult to compile this project.
When running Hyprland it tells me that I'm missing this runtime dependency, and, when trying to compile and after installing quite a lot of qt6 dependencies it still misses something.

A line showing how to compile might not be too much also (specifically when it's quite the same as on other projects and it takes two lines in a readme).

Here is the repeated 5000 warning I get :

CMake Warning at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6Qml/Qt6QmlMacros.cmake:3459 (message):
  The qml plugin 'qquicklayoutsplugin' is a dependency of
  'hyprland-update-screen', but the link target it defines
  (Qt6::qquicklayoutsplugin) does not exist in the current scope.  The plugin
  will not be linked.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6Core/Qt6CoreMacros.cmake:743:EVAL:1 (qt6_finalize_target)
  utils/update-screen/CMakeLists.txt:DEFERRED

Before that, I was missing "qt6-base-dev", "qt6-declarative-dev", "qt6-declarative-private-dev" and "qt6-wayland-dev" but this was fixed and kind of told in the Readme that we had qt6 and qt6-qml dependencies (which are by the way installed, as well as the KDE dep).

Thanks,

I don't know how the deps work on debian but in general you just need qt6 and qt6-qml:

hyprland-qtutils/nix/default.nix

Lines 34 to 38 in 9694274

	hyprutils
	kdePackages.kirigami-addons
	qt6.qtbase
	qt6.qtsvg
	qt6.qtwayland

idk why the kirigami stuff is there @fufexan

I faced similar problems trying to build for Ubuntu, and have the deb files here: cpiber/hyprland-ppa@7f0c30f

It seems that Ubuntu/Debian split the packages very aggressively. I also had to patch a few things, maybe due to different defaults (and slightly outdated qt6.4)

Hi there,

I've listed the dependencies needed at the bottom of the issue, it doesn't seem like it only needs these...
The problem now is the gajillion warnings I get when compiling (as stated), it works though, I don't have the runtime dependency warning / error anymore, the thing is I don't really know if I still miss anything.

Wow you have a ppa for hyprland, I'll look into that.

Yes that's the problem there ahah, and their packages are not even explicit...

IIRC some component from it was used but it's no longer the case so I removed it.

Just in case someone needs this, I hope this will help. I'm running Debian sid and here is what I installed to get this working for me:

Core Qt6:

qt6-base-dev
qt6-declarative-dev
qt6-declarative-private-dev

Wayland-specific:

qt6-wayland-dev
qt6-wayland-private-dev
qml6-module-qtwayland-compositor

QML/Quick Modules:

qml6-module-qtcore
qml6-module-qtqml-workerscript
qml6-module-qtqml-models
qml6-module-qtquick
qml6-module-qtquick-controls
qml6-module-qtquick-layouts
qml6-module-qtquick-templates
qml6-module-qtquick-window
libqt6quick6

I may have caught some extra fluff in there, but it got things going on my systems.
