[Interest] Qt 5.5 DEB (or other install package) for Ubuntu 14.04 out there?

[Jason Kretzer]

We are currently building on a 14.04 installation.  However, when I take the DEB that is created to another pc with a stock installation of 14.04, the DEB will not install since it relies on packages that are not available through the repos.

I am asking this question second hand, on behalf of a colleague, so I may not be completely correct in the above.  The bottom line is that we are stuck using a lower Qt version than we would like and do not know what we do not know to make using Qt 5.5 happen.

Qt5 libraries do exist on Ubuntu 14.04.
If you have built your deb on 14.04, then the debhelper should have put in the correct dependency information.
If you build on a version > 14.04 and try to run on 14.04 then your debianization scripts need to be explicit about versions.

I used to do this by using a 14.04 VM. Now I use a 14.04 Docker image.

Anyone know where I can obtain such things?  My little application is to be distributed as a DEB file but fails on installation due to the Qt lib version.
