[Automotive] Getting started with automotive and qt

[Johan Thelin]

You need the qml or qtquick development package installed. What
platform are you developing from? If you're on Linux, you should look
for the qt5*-dev or -devel packages.

One (more advanced) way around this is to build your own version of
Qt, and then build Application Manager with the qmake-binary from your
custom Qt build. Qt depends on QML, but also QtWayland.
