Oh it might be the prequisite packages for the build environment, these usually are the ones that are listed in the INSTALL file.

Hi,
Maybe I miss something but I fail to fully understand the link between Matteo needs and your explanation, Patrick. it doesn't look like Matteo has issues to build QGIS. He already does it, he compiles from source himself ( master or any other branch). What he wants is simply a way to build QGIS with 3D enabled, thing that by default requires an upgraded version of QT (and not available in even known and supported distro like Ubuntu 16.04). Unless I misunderstood...

Btw, which key package is missing in Xenial since january? I also do build with Xenial and never felt that i'm missing some key features (except 3D but i chose to not upgrade for that - worried to break a working environment)

Matteo, have you seen the link I sent earlier (https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/blog/2017/08/06/qgis3d-build/ <https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/blog/2017/08/06/qgis3d-build/>)? Looks like there's a way to have two versions of qt and build different QGIS depending on what's enabled....

    It's a known issue that Ubuntu Xenial by itself does not include a
    required version of a key package that is needed by masters later
    than about January 2017. Attempting to build without this package
    will presumably fail. This is why Ubuntugis based versions of Qgis
    are needed to install on Xenial or supported earlier editions of
    Ubuntu.

    However as per my other comment it is possible the Mint developers
    have updated this package in Mint. We have no way of predicting
    this without in depth knowledge of the distro.

        Hi Patrick,

        thanks for the clarification. Actually I don't have any external
        repository activated because I'm building QGIS from scratch
        and I never
        had to add external sources.

        Eventually, by activating the nightly repository Qt should be
        upgradable
        to the last version required for 3D?

        Thanks a lot

        Matteo
