debian packages. Unless you plan to develop on QGIS, that is probably the
debian packages. Unless you plan to develop on QGIS, that is probably the
easiest option to compile and install QGIS.

3.9. Building QGIS with Qt 5.x
==============================

/!\ Warning: Qt 5 is not officially supported. Building against Qt 5
libraries seems to work quite well already but be prepared that you are one
of very few with this setup. We strongly recommend using QGIS with Qt 4 for
production work.

Python bindings in particular are not expected to be compatible. When Qt 5
is enabled, the build system automatically activates Python 3 and PyQt5 as well.
There are no plugins and not even the python code shipped along the QGIS source
code is compatible with PyQt5.

You have been warned.


3.10. On Debian Linux
=====================

We assume that you have the source code of QGIS ready and created a new
subdirectory called `build` or `build-qt5` in it.


3.10.1. Install build dependencies
==================================

Make sure that your build directory is completely empty when you enter the
following command. Do never try to "re-use" an existing Qt4 build directory.
If you want to use `ccmake` or other interactive tools, run the following
command in the empty build directory once before starting to use the
interactive tools.

cmake

If everything went ok you can finally start to compile. (As usual append a -jX where X is the number of available cores option to make to speed up your build process)

make
