I’m in the process of porting an application from Fedora to Rocky 8. I’m missing some development packages that are needed by my application. Are any of these available in some repository for Rocky 8?

Coin3-devel or Coin4-devel  
OpenEXR-devel  
SDL2-devel  
collada-dom-devel  
doxygen  
fltk-devel  
fox-devel  
giflib-devel  
jasper-devel  
liblas-devel  
libvncserver-devel  
nvidia-texture-tools-devel  
openal-soft-devel  
opencascade-devel  
pandoc  
poppler-glib-devel  
qt-devel  
qtwebkit-devel

I’d appreciate any pointers or repositories where these are available. Thanks!

Lets ask from the usual suspects.  
The ‘powertools’ is part of Rocky but disabled by default.  
The ‘epel’ you get with `dnf install epel-release`. (I have it defined, but disabled.)

```auto
$ dnf -q --enablerepo=powertools,epel list Coin3-devel Coin4-devel OpenEXR-devel SDL2-devel collada-dom-devel doxygen fltk-devel fox-devel giflib-devel jasper-devel liblas-devel libvncserver-devel nvidia-texture-tools-devel openal-soft-devel opencascade-devel pandoc poppler-glib-devel qt-devel qtwebkit-devel
Available Packages
OpenEXR-devel.i686 2.2.0-12.el8 powertools

poppler-glib-devel.x86_64 20.11.0-3.el8_5.1 powertools

```

Some, but not everything.

I don’t know about qt-devel, but `dnf list qt\*devel` is a mouthful.

Ok, I found the powertools repo which was disabled. I enabled it with this command:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

This allowed me to get some of the packages I was missing. I am now just looking for these packages:

Coin3-devel or Coin4-devel  
collada-dom-devel  
fox-devel  
liblas-devel  
nvidia-texture-tools-devel  
opencascade-devel  
qt-devel  
qtwebkit-devel

I see that I will have to use qt5-devel instead of qt-devel here.
