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
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.
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???
