In today’s video blog, Tim Sutton shows you how to use QtCreator to build QGIS in a graphical development environment. The key entries used when setting up 3D support and here are the commands used to install QtCreator:

sudo apt install qtcreator

In CMake config

Qt53DExtras_DIR /home/timlinux/dev/cpp/QGIS/external/qt3dextra-headers/cmake/Qt53DExtras  

In manage kits

QT5_3DEXTRA_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/timlinux/dev/cpp/QGIS/external/qt3dextra-headers
QT5_3DEXTRA_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt53DExtras.so

Note you will have to adjust the paths above to match where you have checked out your code on your system.

The two error dialogs shown (missing pywebkit and jinja2) can be fixed by doing:

sudo apt install python3-jinja2
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit libqt5webkit5-dev

Enjoy Episode 2 of our road to Nerdvana.
