Any plans for Qt 6?

[VarLad]

Since Qt6 is the new major release of Qt, any plan to support that?

[barche]

Yes, already WIP on my local machine. It looks easy enough, luckily :)

What about the binaries/artifacts？

Hi, @barche!

Thanks for the great project. So, do you still have a plan to release any Qt6 version of the library?

[barche]

There is now a qt6 branch in this repository as well as in the jlqml and QmlJuliaExamples repositories. This experimental work relies on JLL packages that can be installed after adding https://github.com/barche/CxxWrapTestRegistry.git as a registry (Linux and Mac only).

Next steps:

• Publish the Qt6* JLL build scripts to Yggdrasil
• Implement a TableModel, since dynamic columns in a ListView are not supported anymore in Qt6
• Update most examples
• Rebuild GR against Qt6

[barche]

With the first step done, it is now fairly easy to test Qt6 with the examples. First clone the example qt6 branch and start Julia in its directory:

git clone --branch qt6 https://github.com/barche/QmlJuliaExamples
cd QmlJuliaExamples
julia --project

I Julia pkg mode, make sure to switch to the Qt 6 version of QML:

add QML#qt6

And then run e.g. the gui.jl example:

include("gui.jl")

Great, works for me!

The Qt 6 changes are now merged into main. To test these, you need to add my test registry to get the correct shared library JLL:

registry add https://github.com/barche/CxxWrapTestRegistry.git

I had hoped the Qt6 version would be released by now, but I hit a problem running the tests with Qt 6.4, see description here: https://forum.qt.io/post/746459

Perhaps this can be closed now that 0.8 is released?
