[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!

System info

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Kernel

5.10.0-1050-oem

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.

qt_build is not supported on Noetic yet. You could however, clone this repo: https://github.com/stonier/qt_ros, then move the qt_build, qt_create, and qt_ros to catkin_ws/src and do catkin build or catkin_make.
