Hi Maintainers,
Anyone one working on them ?
If so what is the status ?
I have a local test build of qt5-base 5.15.17 from last May. It was
based on ASSI's substantial work previous. I am unsure how robust it
is; I believe I had some issue trying to upload it and set it aside.
And then real life ensued. Let me investigate a bit to say more.
I have not looked into Qt6 at all.
OK. 5.15.17 was, at that time, the last Qt5 release Qt Corp was going
to make. That, plus my belief that I had a possible fix for the
long-standing gnuplot vs Qt-terminal issue to hand, was why I was
looking into building a newer Qt5 for Cygwin. Hats off to Achim for
doing most of the work towards getting a newer-than-5.9.4 Qt5 buildable
on Cygwin.
I tried several variations on my fix but was unable to solve the issue.
Stymied by excessive abstractionism IMO within the source. The only
other thing I can say about my test build is that it passes 'cygport
test' but that doesn't seem to actually test anything.
I could either upload this test package (but I'd need permission for
that) or I could publish the .cygport+patchfiles someplace you can
download from. Let me know if you'd prefer either course.
Cheers & Regards,
