Qt6 is a largely complex beast and given the experience from previous ports of Qt4 and Qt5, it will require quite some more work to accommodate all needs and configurations.

Qt6 kind of ditched support for qmake in favour of cmake, at least when it comes to building Qt6 and its official modules itself.

The qmake eco-system is and still needs to be supported though, as 3rd party projects are still allowed to use qmake - for the time being at least. qmake support for external projects untested for the time being, though.

🛑 CRITICAL ERRORS

Commit 2aa0a06 - qt6: add initial version for building and packaging base of Qt6:

  • New OpenWrt package is missing the mandatory parameter: 'PKG_MAINTAINER'
  • New OpenWrt package is missing the mandatory parameter: 'PKG_LICENSE'
  • New OpenWrt package is missing the mandatory parameter: 'PKG_LICENSE_FILES'
  • Makefile line 'DEPENDS+=+zlib +libzstd +libstdcpp +libpcre2-16 +libdouble-conversion $(ICONV_DEPENDS) +BUILD_qt6base-gui_ICU:icu #FIXME: do not include ICONV_DEPENDS if ICU is selected (though, that's only an issue when using GNU iconv)' inside 'Package/qt6base-core' must be indented with exactly 2 spaces
  • Makefile line 'TITLE+=bearer (plugin)' inside 'Package/qt6base-plugin-bearer-generic' must be indented with exactly 2 spaces

⚠️ STYLISTIC WARNINGS & SUGGESTIONS

Package Release Audit:

  • ⚠️ Content changed in these packages, but without a PKG_RELEASE or version bump:

    • frameworks/qt6

    Increment PKG_RELEASE by 1 (or bump PKG_VERSION/PKG_SOURCE_DATE and reset PKG_RELEASE to 1) so users receive the update.

Do not increment release for minor changes. Cosmetic edits (e.g., typos in comments, copyright updates, formatting/whitespace), changing the package maintainer (PKG_MAINTAINER), or updating source download info (PKG_SOURCE_URL / PKG_HASH) do not require incrementing PKG_RELEASE.

Tip

Do not close this pull request to make corrections. Instead, modify your existing commits (e.g. git commit --amend) and update the branch using git push --force-with-lease --force-if-includes. The checks will re-run automatically.

Something broken? Consider reporting an issue.
