[SOLVED] V4L2 Utilities on Qt6 / Gtk3

I have standard Qt5 V4L2 testing and capture utilities.
qt5-base was removed due to it serving only one utility.
Doubtful for Qt6, but maybe these utilities are available in Gtk3 variant?
If no, will removal of these utilities affect the video camera driver?
Not an urgent issue. Thank you.

Edit: I did not find an answer on the web.

Re: [SOLVED] V4L2 Utilities on Qt6 / Gtk3

qt5-base is a makedepend for v4l2-utils, but at runtime only an optional depend .

 qt5-base (optional) - for qv4l2 and qvidcap

Do you or some of your applications need those commands ?

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

$ qv4l2
qv4l2: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I would like to know whether it is possible to get Gtk3 / Qt6 client or remove GUI client and use just v4l2-ctl.

Edit: As I understand, these Qt5 apps are packaged together with v4l2-utils and there is no way to remove only GUI part.

Just resist the urge to run qv4l2?

FWIW... qv4l2 would have qt6 support https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/c … a7671a6433 -- so you might want to consider opening a bug report/feature request on the v4l2-utils package to switch the build to qt6
