[Theorical] Qt-ros package for ROS Melodic

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to migrate a project from ROS Kinetic to ROS Melodic. I've developed an application GUI to control a robot, but when I try to install the dependencies for this project in ROS Melodic, the console output tells me that qt-build package is still not developed for this ROS distro. 1) Does anyone know if there's a way to install this packages in ROS Melodic?

In case this option is not allowed, 2) how can I migrate qt user interface into ROS Melodic using qt ros pluggin?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you @Eberty, your comment solved my problem! In order to sum up:

1. qt_build has no compatibility with ROS Melodic.

2. This post [1] shows how to migrate a ROS Kinetic Qt interface into ROS Melodic.
