Building fails. "Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools"" on KDE Neon.

Hello. I've followed the instructions however upon executing cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../.. Cmake fails printing

  CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:28 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools"
  with any of the following names:

    Qt5LinguistToolsConfig.cmake
    qt5linguisttools-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5LinguistTools" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "Qt5LinguistTools_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "Qt5LinguistTools" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:116 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!```

I've attempted installing "qt5linguisttools" through apt, however the closest package was "linguist-qt6".

I don't know what Ubuntu packages you need, but on Arch Linux it is qt5-base for runtime as well as qt5-tools and qt5-translations for buildtime. I amme you are missing some QT5 things, probably that you have QT6 for instead.

[alerque]

Also, did you use -D USE_SYSTEM_QT=ON?

[InkstainTheBat]

I tried installed the qt6 versions of the packages you listed and added the option you suggested to the cmake command but the error remains the same.

You need the Qt5 versions. Do you my chance have some sort of QT5 compatibility layer package? This app hasn't been updated to Qt6 yet as far as I'm aware. See #428.

I gave that repo a look too, but although now it's correctly looking for the qt6 version of the linguisttools package, it still isn't found. I've searched a bit online too but I couldn't find a solution

[InkstainTheBat]

I just found out about qt6-tools-dev-tools, which allowed me to continue, however building now fails at a later stage. During Ninja building, an error pops up that this time I can't understand. I'll post it here
