John M. Wargo created CB-7653:
---------------------------------
Summary: Ubuntu requirements not met with Cordova install
Key: CB-7653
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7653
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Ubuntu
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.1 TLS 64-bit
Reporter: John M. Wargo
Assignee: Maxim Ermilov
Priority: Minor
I setup a clean Ubuntu installation and followed the Cordova installation
instructions from the platform guide at
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.6.0/guide_platforms_ubuntu_index.md.html#Ubuntu%20Platform%20Guide.
Everything seemed to install correctly, but when I tried to create a project, I
received an error:
Error: missing dependency cmake libicu-dev pkg-config devscripts qtbase5-dev
qtchooser qtdeclarative5-dev qtfeedback5-dev qtlocation5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev
qtpim5-dev libqt5sensors5-dev qtsystems5-dev
Apparently one of the dependencies is not installed during the CLI
installation. Here's the complete console output:

The platform guide says that QTCreator is optional, that you don't need to
install it:
"You may also want to install the Ubuntu QtCreator development environment. See
developer.ubuntu.com for more info. (The QtCreator SDK is not required to add
Ubuntu platform support to your Cordova app.)"
But when I install QTCreator, and run the complete set of commands again, the
error disappears.
Either the dependencies for the CLI installation need to be updated or the note
about the QTCreator installation being optional should be removed.
