I was able to install the correct dependencies on my system, running Kubuntu 14\.10 using the command:
.
.br
\fBsudo apt\-get install qt5\-default qml\-module\-qtquick\-controls qml\-module\-qtquick\-dialogs qml\-module\-qtquick\-layouts qml\-module\-qtgraphicaleffects libdrm\-dev libmarkdown2\-dev\fR
.
.SS "Compiling"
Compile Elektra as normal as per the COMPILE document \fIhttp://libelektra\.org/tree/master/doc/COMPILE\.md\fR making sure to include the \fBqt\-gui\fR tool using the \fB\-DTOOLS\fR flag\.
.
.P
For instance: \fB\-DTOOLS=ALL\fR or \fB\-DTOOLS=qt\-gui\fR
.
.P
Note: If you install qt5 manually, you must either: \- make sure the qt5 libraries are included in \fBLD_LIBRARY_PATH\fR \- OR make sure to specify \fB\-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5\.3\.0/5\.3/gcc_64/lib/cmake\fR
.
