qt-sqlcipher builds sqlcipher a qsqldriver. shamelessly borrowed from https://github.com/sijk/qt5-sqlcipher, the difference here is - couple of qt source files are copied in so the whole qt repo doesn't have to be cloned - assumes qt and sqlcipher libs/headers already installed on Arch: yaourt -S sqlcipher cd path/to/build qmake path/to/source make sudo make install
