Confusing error message when libsqlite is missing during "cmake ." #1143
Description
Details for the issue
When trying to bisect #1142 I didn't quite read what dependencies I need and just tried following the errors that "cmake ." gives me. This eventually lead me to this message:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 6.3.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 6.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info

-- Found Antlr2: /usr/lib/libantlr.a
-- Could NOT find QScintilla (missing: QSCINTILLA_INCLUDE_DIR)
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
LIBSQLITE
linked by target "sqlitebrowser" in directory /home/techet/sqlitebrowser
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/techet/sqlitebrowser/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
From this message it seems that what is missing is the QScintilla dependency (which actually isn't true as it's part of the sources) but in fact, the missing dependency was libsqlite in my case. It would save quite a lot of time to the project newcomers if the message was a bit clearer.
