📄 Description

Add : Missing Libs in debian linux build (attaching initial failed build logs)

~/librepods/librepods/linux/build$ cmake ..
-- Could NOT find XKB (missing: XKB_LIBRARY XKB_INCLUDE_DIR) (Required is at least version "0.5.0")
-- Could NOT find Qt6LinguistTools (missing: Qt6LinguistTools_DIR)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake
  but it set Qt6_FOUND to FALSE so package "Qt6" is considered to be NOT FOUND.
  Reason given by package: Failed to find required Qt component "LinguistTools".
  Expected Config file at "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6LinguistTools/Qt6LinguistToolsConfig.cmake" does NOT exist
Configuring with --debug-find-pkg=Qt6LinguistTools might reveal details why the package was not found.
Configuring with -DQT_DEBUG_FIND_PACKAGE=ON will print the values of some of the path variables that find_package uses to try and find the package.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
