windows:mingw:win{32|64}/mingw{32|64}-qt6-xxx missing
Last modified: 2024-04-30 13:45:34 UTC
Qt6.6 (https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.6_Release) is the actual version of the Qt framework. It would be nice to have MinGW packages for this release. The special/problem with Qt6 is that it requires exactly the same version of the native packages, as the native tools are used from there. The packages built for Tumbleweed will therefore not be buildable on Leap 15.5 and 6, as Qt 6.4 is used there by default. Additionally, the MinGW qt6 packages need to be updated when Upstream changes the qt6 version to get the exact version. To fix this, the required qt 6.6 packages must be available independently from the distribution packages to build the MinGW qt 6 packages. According to my research and testing, these are: qt6-declarative qt6-languageserver qt6-macros qt6-shadertools qt6-tools qt6-base These packages can be used to build corresponding mingw64 and mingw32 variants, but must not be installed in the normal prefix to avoid conflicts with the standard qt6 packages. Does anyone have suggestions for an appropriate prefix ?
This kind of stuff was always handled in the windows:mingw toplevel repository where the appropriate package can be. Both windows:mingw:win32 and windows:mingw:win64 use the repository for tools and so on. So, just upgrade them there and you should be fine.

Actually, you can upgrade them just correctly there, just don't add that top-level project to your repos for installation and you should not have problem with it.

With Qt6, the native packages are not only used for building, but are needed directly for development packages, for example. $ sudo zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rhabacker:/branches:/windows:/mingw:/win64:/Qt66/15.5/home:rhabacker:branches:windows:mingw:win64:Qt66.repo $ sudo zypper install mingw64-qt6-base-devel Service 'NVIDIA' is updated. Service 'openSUSE' is updated. Repository data is loaded... Installed packages are read... Package dependencies are resolved... Problem: nothing provides 'qt6-base-common-devel = 6.6.2', which is required by the mingw64-qt6-base-devel-6.6.2-lp155.3.1.noarch to be installed Solution 1: Do not install mingw64-qt6-base-devel-6.6.2-lp155.3.1.noarch Solution 2: break mingw64-qt6-base-devel-6.6.2-lp155.3.1.noarch by ignoring some dependencies Choose from the above solutions by number or break (a)b [1/2/a/d/?] (a): This means that suitable native packages must be installable

Installing a mingwxx-qt6 development package would replace the entire qt6 installation and could destroy the system.
