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.

  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 I also had to patch a few things, maybe due to different defaults (and slightly outdated qt6.4)
