Which options should I enable in conanfile.txt to use with QML/ QtQuick?

Question

I try to set up an environment with conan using qt/5.15.2@bincrafters/stable. Getting the following error when running the code

"main.qml:1:1: module "QtQuick" is not installed"

Need to find out how to install QML correctly with Conan.

Answer 1

As you found out yourself for QtQuick you need at least qtdeclarative=True, you can also add these options for the controls library:

qtquickcontrols=True  # for QQC1
qtquickcontrols2=True # for QQC2

On Linux, I've also found adding these modules to be useful:

config=-xcb
qttools=True
qttranslations=True
qtvirtualkeyboard=True
qtx11extras=True
qtsvg=True
