Document build instructions for debian bullseye
I'm struggling a bit getting a build on bullseye, though I think it should be possible.
This is as far as I've gotten:
$ sudo apt install libqt5svg5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qtbase5-dev
$ # cmake per README succeeds
At this point there are runtime errors when doing build/Graphia.
Looks like some progress installing some qt libraries:
$ sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qt-labs-platform qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-dialogs
At this point I get:
$ build/Graphia
QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Warning: Setting a new default format with a different version or profile after the global shared context is created may cause issues with context sharing.

I'd love to be able to build without messing around with a full Qt distribution
Adding qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-shapes to above and it seems to build and run.
...but I can't seem to load a gml file? After opening file graphia offers to open it with "generic" or "websearch", both of which don't work.
Thanks. Does it look as though I'm building and launching graphia correctly?
The gml file is malformed in at least 2 ways. Firstly, the root element should be called graph, not anonymous i.e.
graph
[
...
]
Not,
[
...
]
Secondly, your node and edge ids are larger than 32bit signed integers, which is not allowed for GML. There may be other issues, but I didn't look further. If you've got to the point where you can load a file, it looks at though you've successfully built Graphia.
I just tested (am using Debian myself), and the current required packages are:
qt6-base-dev qt6-declarative-dev qt6-svg-dev qt6-webengine-dev libqt6quicklayouts6 libqt6labsqmlmodels6 libqt6quickcontrols2-6 libqt6quickdialogs2-6 libqt6quickdialogs2utils6 libqt6quickshapes6 libqt6webenginequick6
The related PR used QT5 libs, as it is from back in 2021.
With these packages installed, the cmake configure step succeeds, but I then get compile errors with current master. Should I open a new issue for them?

Yes, if you believe it's a problem with Graphia itself, as opposed to your configuration.
