Bug Description

I've been experimenting with the https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-proper packages compiling capybara-webkit on Travis CI. The blocking issue is this:

g++ -m32 -Wl,-O1 -o ../bin/webkit_server ... -lQt5WebKitWidgets -L/build/buildd/qtdeclarative-opensource-src-5.0.0/lib -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i386-linux-gnu -L/build/buildd/qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.0.0/lib -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i386-linux-gnu/i386-linux-gnu -lQt5Sql -lX11 -lxslt -lgio-2.0 -lgstapp-0.10 -lgstinterfaces-0.10 -lgstpbutils-0.10 -pthread -lgstvideo-0.10 -lgstbase-0.10 -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 -lsqlite3 -lQt5Quick -lQt5OpenGL -lQt5PrintSupport -lQt5WebKit -lQt5Qml -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Location -lQt5Sensors -lQt5Network -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lGL -lpthread

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The gstreamer libraries are installed, however they have a .0 suffix after the .so. This seems to cause linking to fail. I'm not sure where these libraries are being added to the linker line as they are not present in Qt 4.8 nor on my Debian box running Qt 5 as distributed by Digia.

As it turns out, I needed to install the libgstreamer0.10-dev and libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev packages. However, I'm not sure why these aren't pulled in as build deps, given that something was adding them to the linker.

Also, qtdeclarative5-dev, qtlocation5-dev and qtsensors5-dev were not pulled in as build deps, even though they were required to build.

I encountered this bug when writing a Qt5 web application in QtCreator. In addition to libgstreamer packages that Matt Horan noted need to be installed, so does libxslt1-dev:

As a developer this is really annoying issue as i need to put a huge list of unrelated build dependencies to my application's control file.
