We have Qt 5.15.2 installed as a module and loaded at

/opt/Qt/5.15.2

 ./makeParaView  -cmake -qmake -qt-5.15.2

fails with:

-- Could NOT find Qt5Help (missing: Qt5Help_DIR)
CMake Warning at VTK/CMake/vtkModule.cmake:4365 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake

  but it set Qt5_FOUND to FALSE so package "Qt5" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  Failed to find Qt5 component "Help" config file at
  "/usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5Help/Qt5HelpConfig.cmake"

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Qt/Widgets/CMakeLists.txt:117 (vtk_module_find_package)

CMake Error at VTK/CMake/vtkModule.cmake:4371 (message):
  Could not find the Qt5 external dependency.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  Qt/Widgets/CMakeLists.txt:117 (vtk_module_find_package)

We have this file at:

 /usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake

I tried the symbols link route and end up with:

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfigVersion.cmake:2 (set):
  Maximum recursion depth of 1000 exceeded
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib64/cmake/Qt5Help/Qt5HelpConfig.cmake:28 (find_package)

I did set:

Qt5_DIR=/opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5

Is there a work around for this?

I realize this is a bit late, but this might be able to help you:

Essentially it seems you need to install a bit of different dependencies since 22.04 where qt5-default no longer exists.


For 22.04:

sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libxt-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libqt5help5 qttools5-dev qtxmlpatterns5-dev-tools libqt5svg5-dev python3-dev python3-numpy libopenmpi-dev libtbb-dev ninja-build qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
