Your system package managers version (without Android support)

Your applications won't run on a different distro than the one you used to deploy your application, but this is currently the only option to make your application look native on your distro. More infos about this issue here: Why does my application don't look native on Linux?

• Install the Qt5 dev packages through your systems package manager and export QT_PKG_CONFIG=true. (You will need to install the html/doc packages containing the *.index files as well.)

  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get -y install libqt*5-dev qt*5-dev qt*5-doc-html
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S --noconfirm --needed qt5
  • (TODO: list commands for the most common linux distros)

• Install Go: https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.11.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

• Clone the repo: go get -u -v -tags=no_env github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/...
