You're not telling anybody anything new. Cygwin currently doesn't have
a maintainer for the Qt5 (and many other desktop related) packages, so
until that changes you'll see these languishing.
I've tried to pull the base package up to 5.15.2 some time ago, but I
didn't quite manage to coerce qmake into treating things correctly on
Cygwin. It builds with BOOTSTRAP=1, but uses an ugly workaround in the
Makefiles and required some manual intervention along the way IIRC. I
have no further time to spend on this for the foreseeable future and
obviously once the base package is updated you'd have to deal with all
the other packages that depend on it (and then do it all over again once
_that_ is done since qt5-base needs some of the downstream packages to
fully build).
If anybody wants to take it from where I left, look here:
https://cygwin.com/git?p=git/cygwin-packages/qt5-base.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground
then head over to the cygwin-apps mailing list to discuss.
Regards,
Achim.
