15:09:55 <TheCharlatan> I've spent quite some time on the repro builds again and I'm pretty much stuck still in qt configuration hell. It's horrible.
15:39:03 <dsc_> TheCharlatan: ./configure of qt?
15:39:12 <dsc_> what version?
15:41:23 <dsc_> And which platform?
15:42:46 <selsta> Qt 5.12 would be ok
15:45:15 <dsc_> 5.12 is EOL in 1 year
15:45:29 <dsc_> anyway, I have a ./configure for 5.15 
15:47:50 <selsta> we need Ubuntu 16.04 and macOS 10.12 support
15:47:59 <selsta> I also would like 5.15 with automatic high dpi scaling
15:49:17 <TheCharlatan> I'm going for 5.15
15:49:41 <TheCharlatan> dsc_ can you share what you have somewhere?
15:50:32 <TheCharlatan> selsta what is prohibiting a 5.15 qt build running on 16.04?
15:50:54 <selsta> qt
15:51:11 <selsta> apparently? it is not included in supported platforms
15:53:22 <TheCharlatan> should still run though, right?
15:54:14 <selsta> I don’t know.
15:55:33 <TheCharlatan> I'll guess I find out then.
16:02:23 <dsc_> TheCharlatan: sure!
16:02:45 <dsc_> (And yes, 5.15 is ubuntu 18.04 and up)
16:05:32 <dsc_> TheCharlatan: https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/13f9445a <== This requires 2 external files: kitware.asc (CMake authors, so we can `apt install` latest cmake (3.18.*) and `Qt5.15_LinuxPatch.json` which can be found here: https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/c1847671  (the qtbase git patch is https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/d6f367f2)
16:06:18 <dsc_> Please note however that it's doing `-no-opengl`, as my Qt application doesn't need it
16:07:08 <dsc_> And because you're using a fairly recent CMake you can do `find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Widgets Gui Network Svg Xml WebSockets)` inside CMakeLists.txt
16:07:49 <dsc_> in `target_link_libraries` you'd do `Qt5::Core Qt5::Widgets Qt5::Gui` etc. Also `target_compile_definitions` and `target_include_directories`. 
16:08:08 <dsc_> for static builds you may additionally need to link against `Qt5::FontDatabaseSupport Qt5::QSvgIconPlugin Qt5::QSvgPlugin`
16:10:16 <dsc_> IIRC Qt devs commit straight into CMake - so the reason we have complicated cmake stuff regarding Qt is because for old version support (correct me if I'm wrong)
16:10:45 <dsc_> Latest Qt 5.15 + CMake 3.18 comes with cmake recipes that are useful
16:11:22 <dsc_> Actually, I think those cmake files can be found in `qtbase` anyway .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH will find them.
17:21:58 <TheCharlatan> thanks a lot. I'll see if one of those -skip 's might be helpful. AFAICT the problem I'm having is in a module we don't actually need.
17:27:45 <dsc_> Which one, and what is the error?
