[noetic] Creating QT GUI in Noetic and problems with catkin_create_qt_pkg
Hi,
I would like to create a QT GUI package in Noetic. Previously in kinetic, this could be done using the command 'catkin_create_qt_pkg <package-name>' but its not working in Ubuntu 20.04 as I get
catkin_create_qt_pkg: command not found
Unfortunately, noetic appears to have removed the support for the qt-create and qt-build. I get 'Unable to locate package' when I try to install them using
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-qt-build
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-qt-create
Anyone knows how to create a qt-gui in ubuntu-20.04 with noetic? Thanks!

ROS Noetic uses QT5 whereas prior versions where using QT4. I found this link for the installation, I haven't tested it yet: https://github.com/ros-industrial/ros.... Take a look at the end of the thread there is a link to download and install QT Creator. There is another way by sourcing the old package from a third party but I wouldn't recommend it because it will potentially mess with your current installation.
