Project ERROR: Failed to load qdep feature! Run 'qdep prfgen --qmake /home/andrei/Qt/5.13.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake' to create it.

I need detailed instructions or a way to build this service from source and without installing additional components.

P.S.
Thank you for your project, a very interesting job.)

As you can see in the error output, you need to run qdep prfgen --qmake /home/andrei/Qt/5.13.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake to make it work. As the README states, you have to

I. Install and prepare qdep

to be able to build the library. It is a required tool that pulls in additional dependencies at compile time. If you want to get all sources beforehand, that is also possible, but you still need qdep both to get the sources, as well as to pull them in at compile time. Check that project for more details...

@Skycoder42 Thanks, I will try to understand with qdep.
