Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

Question

Added QT += svg and I tried just QT += svg and greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += svg to the .pro solution file and ran qmake from inside the QtCreator and got this error:

error: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Because zsh complains to me about "no matches found" when using lpapp's answer, I would like to add here: On Debian Systems one can get the required library for release builds via:

sudo apt install libqt5svg5

and if one also wants to build a debug build one requires:

sudo apt install libqt5svg5-dev

additionally.

Answer 2

You are lacking the installation of the the QtSvg library. Try to install them on your Ubuntu 13.10 in the following way:

sudo apt-get install libqt5svg5*

Answer 3

Debian Stretch:

sudo apt install libqt5svg5-dev

Fedora (courtesy of @robin-green):

sudo dnf install qt5-qtsvg-devel
