You can obtain the Qt 5 plugin for SQLCipher that works with the SQLite driver by following these steps:

  1. Download and install SQLCipher for your operating system.
  2. Download the latest version of the SQLCipher plugin for Qt 5 from the official SQLCipher website.
  3. Extract the plugin files to a directory of your choosing.
  4. Build the plugin using the Qt build system. To build the plugin, open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the plugin files. Then follow these commands:
qmake -- SQLCIPHER=<path_to_sqlcipher>
make

where <path_to_sqlcipher> is the directory where you installed SQLCipher.

  1. After the plugin has been built, copy the resulting libqsqlitecipher.so or libqsqlitecipher.dylib (depending on your operating system) to the Qt plugins directory. This directory is typically located at /usr/lib/qt/plugins/sqldrivers or /usr/local/Qt-X.X.X/plugins/sqldrivers on Linux, /Library/Qt/plugins/sqldrivers on macOS, and C:\Qt\X.X.X\plugins\sqldrivers on Windows.

  2. Verify that the plugin is installed correctly by running a Qt application that uses the SQLite driver with SQLCipher encryption.
