Porting Qt packages from Kinetic to Melodic

edit

When trying to compile in ROS Melodic packages created using catkin_create_qt_pkg in ROS Kinetic, catkin_make fails with the message:

-- Could NOT find qt_build (missing: qt_build_DIR)
-- Could not find the required component 'qt_build'. The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found.
CMake Error at /opt/ros/melodic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "qt_build" with any
  of the following names:

    qt_buildConfig.cmake
    qt_build-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "qt_build" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "qt_build_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "qt_build" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

Apparently, qt_build is currently unavailable for Melodic.

Below is my CmakeLists file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.0)
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
project(visualization)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
        qt_build
        roscpp
        converters)
include_directories(include  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})


catkin_package()

include_directories(
        ../../devel/include
        ../../install/include
        )

target_link_libraries(block ${QT_LIBRARIES} ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
install(TARGETS block RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION})

Are there any workaround options or should I wait with porting to Melodic until qt_build is available? Thanks
