whats about qt options?

I'm missing how the qt.enable nixos options plays a role in it? Would be a great addition too this wiki page! Turbotimon (talk) 07:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Basic Development shell fails, qt5.full was removed

The code presented as a basic development shell.nix:

# shell.nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
  pkgs.mkShell {
    buildInputs = [
      pkgs.qt5.full
      pkgs.qtcreator
    ];
}

It does not work, failing with the error:

error: libsForQt5.full has been removed. Please use individual packages instead.

How can we update the file to have a working yet simple shell?
