QT6
 
Quick question, don't want to start a flame war or anything. Just noticed that the pre-release version of Protonmail Bridge-2.4.0 has switched over to QT6 and I don't recall having read about qt6 in Slackware in recent times. The QT5 version works fine for me and if it craps out there is always the browser interface. So what's the status, if known? The pre-release version runs fine on Win 11 fwiw. Thanks

In the case of Protonmail Bridge it vendors QT (i.e., it includes QT itself and doesn't rely on the OS to provide QT), so it should work just fine:

Calibre switched to Qt6 back in July. Included in the binary tarball, but building from source will of course require Qt6.

Ahhh, good catch. Have been building things for so long I tend to over look the pre-built packages. Excellent!! Converted the .rpm to a .tgz and you are correct. Will give it a go. Many thanks again.

Moved the unpacked files to correct location under /usr/lib64 and it runs just fine. Many thanks again.

We also have it on SBo already : https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/libraries/qt6/

Am I misunderstanding something about the SBo page for Qt6 or does it say it's 40GB? It says:

Code:
Qt6 requires 16GB of RAM to build, and a minimum of 40GB of available
disk storage. Disk storage requirements may increase when built
against optional dependencies.
That's larger than my Slackware install if you strip away some of the SBo's I've already installed! Is that actually how much space it takes up once installed???

That's space needed to build, not the space needed for installation.

Edit : since no chance I can actually build qt6 on my main, let's have a look at Arch qt6-base
Package Size: 12.8 MB
Installed Size: 53.9 MB

Ahh, thank you, never been so glad to have misinterpreted something!

Those are requirements for qtwebengine build, and not for qtbase. Which is why qtwebengine should be a separate package.
