Milestone
We've received reports for problems building Qt, some of which may be due to missing required packages.
Some aspects needed for VisIt fail 'silently' during Qt's build and are only discovered when trying to build or package VisIt.
An xcbglintegrations error comes up when packaging VisIt. See SRE 192
The xcb-native-painting flag we pass to VisIt can cause Qt build to fail with this error:
Qt has a page documenting its X11 requirements
Should this link be part of our build_visit RTD page?
Should it be part of bv_qt error messaging if qt's configure or build fails?
