qmlbox2d and gcompris: do not fix Qt version to 5.9 [WIP]

[peterhoeg]

Motivation for this change

They both do not work with 5.10.

We wait until gcompris properly supports 5.10. While it launches, a number of graphical artifacts are missing.

Have you tried to run gcompris ? When I was writing the derivation for it, I had display issues (most of the SVG / sprites) did not appear. But perhaps the version bump of qmlbox2d fixes the issue as well.

No attempt on aarch64-linux (full log)

The following builds were skipped because they don't evaluate on aarch64-linux: gcompris

Partial log (click to expand)

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

You're right - icons are missing with 5.10. I'll put this on hold for when gcompris is updated.

[guibou]

Thank you. (Sorry, I should have put a command in the nix file saying why I was using qt 5.9)

[xeji]

I'll put this on hold for when gcompris is updated.

Marking this as WIP until then.

[guibou]

I pushed #52567 with gcompris 0.95 which now works with qt > 5.9.
