Can't Install on Debian 11

[Faber]

I'm trying to install MakeMKV 1.14.7 on Debian 11 (AKA Bullseye), but there's a dependency problem. Debian 11 uses QT version 5, but it doesn't have the libqt5-dev package. I'd rather not have to remove QT version 5 and install version 4 from the Debian 10 repository. What can I do to get MakeMKV installed? Is there a different dependency I can use?

The main question is, why doesn't the repository have the dev package for qt5, if it is using it?

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. The strangest thing about it is that the Unstable and Experimental repositories don't even have it.

Yeah, I saw that too. It seems like the only solution would be to install it as a flatpack or a snap. As of 1-2-2023, libqt-5 is not in any of the Debian repos.

It's 100% possible to install/run makemkv on bullseye -- it's what I've been doing the last year and a half. If you really want to build it yourself (and not take advantage of the pre-built packages), qt5 development packages are available: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qtbase-opensource-src.

Both Flatpaks and Snaps are generally more secure than a deb install anyways.

I'm not really a big fan of Flatpaks because they don't really integrate with the rest of the system very well.
